Engage for Good

Engage for Good at the BestCities Global Forum

At this year's Global Forum we collectively will be raising funds for Ocean Wise Seafood. You will earn points by engaging prior, during and after the event and the more points we accumulate as a group the more funds will go towards Ocean Wise Seafood. We will also be recognising the most engaged participant during Global Forum, so let's all engage for good!

Ocean Wise Seafood

Overfishing is a monumental, global issue. Part of the programme at this year's Global Forum will involve Ocean Wise Seafood.

Ocean Wise Seafood is an ocean conservation program that empowers consumers and businesses to choose sustainable seafood options that support healthy oceans, today and into the future. Thanks to our team of scientists and collaborators, our recommendations are based on the most up-to-date science on aquatic ecosystems and the species they support. We are continuously working with our partners to grow their list of Ocean Wise recommended options that allow them to achieve their sustainability goals and meet the demand of customers who care about protecting the ocean.

How will it work?

We have setup goals and points linked to these goals in our event management system. Once you complete a goal, these points will be tallied by the system to your point total. Through the attendee app you will be able to see how many points you have collected, what goals there are, which goals you have achieved and you will be able to see a top 10 leaderboard.

The height of the donation to the Ocean Wise Seafood would be determined by the accumulated points by our group:

0 - 50,000 points = Donation of $500

50,001 - 150,000 points = Donation of $1,000

Over 150,001 points = Donation of $2,500
