This year's theme is A Movement for Equity, to support the realization of our vision to advance equitable communities in which every girl thrives. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend breakout sessions that fall under two tracks:
- Gender Liberation: Girls Without Limits - Elevating positive models for affirming gender identity and expression and eliminating racial and gender bias
- Advancing Equity: Advocating for System Change - Learn about key policies and effective mobilization strategies to create more equitable systems
We invite proposals for dynamic, one-hour sessions that highlight effective approaches, cutting-edge research, policy initiatives, and new ideas that relate to these themes. Sessions can take the form of two formats:
- Case Study + Practical Application: Share a case study from your work/organization that provides lessons for attendees to apply to their own work. Must be highly interactive and provide opportunities for attendees to practice in-session.
- Thought Leadership Panel: Coordinate a panel of inspiring leaders (can include yourself) to have a candid conversation about current issues, strategies, and the future of the girls' movement.
