2022 INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER SERIES FAQS
Where will the 2022 International Speaker Series be held?
WorldOregon’s 2022 International Speaker Series will be held exclusively online. Each event will have a unique link and password to access the live-stream, which will be emailed to you at 10am the day before each event.
How can I purchase tickets?
Tickets to the 2022 International Speaker Series can be purchased here.
International Speaker Series tickets are nonrefundable. While every effort is made to communicate series changes in advance, specific speakers and dates are subject to change.
Can I view the events at a later time?
For those unable to attend the live stream of the events in the 2022 International Speaker Series, there will be a 2-day window directly following the event and ticket-holders will be emailed a secure login for each stream. This is intended solely for ticket-holders and is not to be shared.
Why is the International Speaker Series being held virtually in 2022?
Planning and curating the International Speaker Series is a months-long process which was made even more challenging due to the evolving nature of the pandemic. This year's series is being presented virtually as the result of balancing both ongoing public health considerations and the wish to craft a series that asks questions of who we are as global citizens, where we are headed, and what the big ideas, challenges and opportunities are in front of us. One of the bright, positive parts of this decision meant we could connect with an array of brilliant speakers who are on the ground where they live and work sharing their perspectives from around the nation and the world.
