Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) launched the world’s first Parenthood – The Unconference at Yas Islands Etihad Arena from the 2nd to the 4th November 2022. The new and groundbreaking format forms part of ADEK’s broader mission to prioritize and enhance parental engagement and involvement for child success. Delivered over three highly interactive days, the conference offered an unparallel opportunity to learn from more than 60 leading international, regional and local experts, during a series of engaging sessions, keynote talks, panel discussions, immersive experiences, hands-on workshops and networking.
The short set-up time due to the full calendar of the Etihad Arena of 2.5 days required a well-organized and detailed production schedule to coordinate the various vendors and suppliers for this complex event.
