Convocation have been issued on 21 May 2007 to all members of the International Conference and to observers. It provides them with the draft provisional agenda, the discussion paper, a preliminary list of workshops, guidelines for pledging and guiding principles applicable to the election of the Standing Commission.

“Together for humanity” is the slogan that the Standing Commission has adopted for the Council of Delegates and the 30th International Conference. This slogan aims, in particular, to highlight the Movement's willingness to form partnerships in order to address the needs of the most vulnerable people. It will remain the guiding slogan of the Movement and all its statutory meetings over the next four years, including those convened by the International Federation. It will also be used for World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day on 8 May 2007.
