More than 130 participants joined the March 2025 EOTEC DevNet Task Team regional meet-ups—thank you for your engagement and valuable contributions!

These sessions featured our 2nd Annual Roundtable on 2025 Capacity Building Plans, with EO training providers sharing upcoming activities, followed by discussions on regional gaps, needs, and priorities.

While our next online task team meet-ups are scheduled for 17/18 September 2025, we encourage you to continue the exchange by sharing updates, resources, and opportunities on our member platform in the meantime.

Thanks again to our Task Team leads—Effiom and Terefe (Africa), Fabiola (Americas), Rishiraj (Asia-Oceania), and Mark (Europe)—and to everyone who helped make this series a success.

We look forward to continuing the conversation—online, on social media, and in the next meet-ups!
