Security & Logistics Note for all UNGA 2024 Events Hosted by Theirworld and Global Business Coalition for Education

High-Level Security & Registration Requirements 

During UNGA 2024 Week, 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 seven 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.

All accreditations are timed, and guests will be asked to leave once their events are completed. 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.

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 ID to receive their accreditation badges and information packages. 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-registrations will be asked to leave the building lobby, but they can wait for their principals and teams at the restaurants and seating areas at “The Hugh” across the street on E 53rd Street.

Accreditation Pick-up & Check-in Times 

All attendees are encouraged to pick up their event accreditation badges in advance or to arrive at least 30 minutes before their event’s start time to complete the check-in process.
