The Graduate Women International (GWI) 35th Triennial General Assembly and Conference will take place from 11–13 September 2025 at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka, Zambia. This milestone event will convene GWI members and advocates from around the world to engage in critical dialogue on the future of education, women’s empowerment, and sustainability.

The priority theme is: Building the Future: Integrating Culture, Education, and Empowerment for Sustainability. With a focus on strengthening education systems through the lens of integrated cultural education relevance, the public conference will explore key global issues through five interrelated sub-themes:

1. Education and empowerment for women in diverse contexts: Pathways to a sustainable future.
2. What is a future context in which education, culture, gender, and the economy will operate?
3. Gender-based cultural issues and barriers in education in relation to gender equity.
4. How relationships, including intergenerational and community connections, enable growth and sustainability.
5. Technology, AI, and Innovation: Relevance to Empowering Women for the Future.

These discussions will contribute to shaping GWI policies, strategies, and collaborations for the 2026–2028 Triennial, reinforcing GWI’s international commitment to equitable access to quality education for women and girls of all ages and demographics.

The registration fee for both the General Assembly and Conference is 350 Swiss francs. This fee provides access to all sessions, keynote addresses, related conference materials, workshops, seminars, networking breaks, and more. Early bird registration is open until 31 August 2025. After the early bird period, the regular registration fee will be 450 Swiss francs. Other registration categories are also available, including options for young members, guests, and attendance at the Zambian-themed Welcome Reception.

The conference will feature a distinguished roster of speakers, including international education leaders, policymakers, gender equity specialists, innovators in technology and AI, and grassroots advocates. These experts will bring diverse perspectives to the programme, offering participants practical insights and research-based strategies for advancing education, empowerment, and sustainability across global contexts.

In addition to the rich conference programme, participants will have the opportunity to experience Zambia’s cultural and natural heritage through a series of specially organized tours. These tours will offer unique insights into the country’s diverse traditions, historical landmarks, and stunning landscapes, enriching the overall conference experience.
