kõrvalüritus

Kõrvalüritus, meaning "side event" in Estonian, refers to an event that takes place in conjunction with a larger, main event. These are often supplementary activities designed to enhance the experience of attendees, provide additional networking opportunities, or delve deeper into specific aspects of the main event's theme.

Side events can take many forms. They might include workshops, panel discussions, masterclasses, networking receptions, exhibitions, or even cultural performances. The purpose is to offer a more focused or informal setting for participants to engage with content or with each other. For organizers, side events can attract a wider audience or cater to niche interests within the broader event scope. For attendees, they provide added value, allowing for personalized learning and connection building beyond the core program.

The organization of a side event typically falls under the umbrella of the main event, though they may be managed by different entities or individuals. Clear communication is crucial to ensure attendees are aware of these supplementary offerings and how they fit into the overall schedule and purpose of the larger gathering.
