In general terms, theHigh Level Conferences e asSummitsbring together political decision-makers and entities of an associative or institutional profile in sessions focused on the lives of citizens, and it is very common for there to be opposition in the interests of those who participate. However, it does not always symbolize divergence or a situation of discord between the parties involved (quite the opposite!).

Whether on climate or to decide domains of State, the maximum aspirations of these councils aresharing knowledge and opinion and creating a solution to a real problem. A meeting that translates into agreements and treaties that follow the desire of the majority of the parties present.

FOR THIS, IT IS NECESSARY TO CREATE A CORRECT ENVIRONMENT AND “ALL EARS” TO THE DEMANDS OF THE DOME!

By themselves, issues that summon high figures of Staterepresent a major logistical challenge. Due to the social nature of the participants,security scenarios must be more than ensured -aka the very sensitivity of the topicsasks that there be enormous care and secrecy.

On the other hand, to respond to the rigor and guarantee success in the execution of the intended tasksit is essential that the organizing entity has the know-how and all the skillsto develop the meticulous schedules and work plans necessary to carry out the activities.

Nevertheless, “listening” to an event of this stature is synonymous with public scrutiny...

As these are civil domain decisions, it is normal to have a lot of “buzz” from those outside, in the post-event. The high media coverage behind this format creates high expectations or revolts with the solutions taken - case of the current talks between Ukraine and Russia
