During the Virtual Island Summit 2021, the Falkland Island Government hosted a streaming presentation of two of the sessions deemed as most relevant to the Falkland Islands. Both sessions were streamed live on 8 September 2021. Sessions were streamed in the Falkland Islands Chamber of Commerce, and all stream attendees had the opportunity to submit questions. Following each session, we discussed the lessons learnt and how they can apply to the Falkland Islands.
