Registration for WBF2023 has closed.
All participants in the World BOSAI Forum 2023 are required to register in advance regardless of whether their participation is paid or free.
If you wish to participate, please first read and agree to the "World BOSAI Forum/International Disaster and Risk Conference＠2023 Terms and Conditions of Participation", "Privacy Policy" and the explanation on this page, and then register by clicking the link in the middle of this page.
Paid participation is intended for people whose work is related to disaster risk, such as business people, government staff, academics, and university graduate students. Paid participation contributes to the scope and success of the World BOSAI Forum programme and allows the participant to maximize their enjoyment and fruitfulness of the Forum. The registration fees are listed below.
If you wish to apply to contribute to the Forum’s programme (topic session, poster session, flash talk presentation), please first register by paying the registration fee and then submit an application via the Contents / Exhibition page.
Free participation is a unique feature of the World BOSAI Forum. It is intended to allow people from civil society who have an interest in disaster risk and its reduction but are not professionally engaged in the topic, to learn and to contribute their experience in selected public sessions. Free participation will be made available at the discretion of the World BOSAI Forum organisers and is aimed at general citizens, disaster survivors, university students who do not major in disaster-related research, high school and junior school students.
