Security & Logistics Note for all UNGA 2025 Events Hosted by Theirworld and the Global Business Coalition for Education

High-Level Security & Registration Requirements

During UNGA25 Week (21-26 September 2025) Theirworld and the Global Business Coalition for Education will host several high-level security events. Attendees of all events must review and follow these instructions to prevent issues or delays on the day of the event.

Only pre-registered and accredited guests will be allowed to enter the venue without any exceptions.

All team and delegation members, including support staff, security personnel, translators, photographers, assistants, etc., must be pre-registered at least five days before the event date. For certain events with limited capacity, pre-registered support staff will be directed to a secondary staff room to wait for their principals.

Guests attending multiple meetings on the same day must RSVP for each event separately, but will only need to check in once. They can remain on the event floors but may be asked to undergo a secondary security screening between meetings. All accreditations are timed, and guests may be asked to leave once all their events are complete.

Advance Security Visits

Security teams that would like to conduct advance visits can contact Anna Shakarova at [email protected] to schedule a time.

Venue Access & Waiting Area

Guests should enter 599 Lexington Ave. from the corner of E 53rd Street and Lexington Ave. and proceed to the check-in desk with a valid picture ID to receive their badges. Team members may collect badges on behalf of colleagues from the same organization only if an email has been sent in advance by the registered guest to [email protected] authorizing the pick-up.

Only accredited guests can proceed through the turnstiles and will be directed to the elevators and appropriate event rooms.

Due to strict security protocols, those without pre-registration will be asked to leave the building lobby. Delegation members without registration can wait for their principals and teams at the restaurants and public seating areas at “The Hugh” across the street on E 53rd Street.

Accreditation Pick-up & Check-in Times

All attendees are encouraged to check in and pick up their event accreditation at least 30 minutes before their event’s start time. The check-in desk will be located in the lobby of 599 Lexington Avenue and open 60 minutes before each event.

Media & Photography

Media access, including staff photographers, is granted by prior accreditation only. Some events are closed to the media entirely. Professional photography will be taken by the Theirworld team and distributed to all attendees and interested media outlets post-event.
