Livestreaming Arrangement and Arrangements under Inclement Weather Conditions
Livestreaming will be available for all sessions of the Youth Development Summit (hereafter “the Summit”) to be held on 10 August 2024 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre at the webcasting website of the Information Services Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (https://webcast.info.gov.hk/revamp/eng/livecast.html).
In the event that the Hong Kong Observatory issues a Tropical Cyclone (commonly known as “typhoon”) No. 8 Signal (or above) or a Black Rainstorm Warning Signal before the commencement of or during the in-person Summit, the Summit will be livestreamed online as usual. Participants can watch the livestreaming of the Summit at the abovementioned website. The arrangements for the in-person Summit will be as follows:
A. Pre-No. 8 Signal Special Announcement or Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 (or above)

If the Pre-No. 8 Signal Special Announcement or the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 (or above) is issued or in force, the morning sessions of the in-person Summit will be cancelled.
If the Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 (or above) is issued but cancelled at 08:59 am or before, the in-person Summit will continue as originally scheduled.
