Stakeholder Forum
The forum is an annual event organised by the Secretariat, involving presentations, workshops and feedback sessions.
Attendees are invited representatives from a wide range of sectors involved with non-native species issues including representation from industry and local action groups. It provides an opportunity for discussion of strategic issues and is a means of engaging stakeholders in the development of non-native species policy and objectives. It encourages debate and helps facilitate information exchange.
