UNHCR has circulated guidance notes with suggestions for the types of pledges that States might make (see here and here). More specifically, here are recommendations for U.S. pledges from Human Rights First and UNHCR's Washington office. The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) has also compiled a list of key resources to support States in the pledging process. NGOs will likely present their recommendations via ICVA.
The conference will be streamed live. Interested parties can also follow developments via UNHCR's Twitter feed.
