    There are concurrent sessions, too. They  are moderated discussions and interactive workshops that provide a space for participants to delve into key issues, gain knowledge from expert speakers, and learn and enhance their advocacy skills.

    As part of Women Deliver’s commitment to a more transparent and inclusive process for the development of WD2023, Concurrent sessions, for both the on-site and virtual Conference, will be selected through an open application process. Approximately 75 on-site and 45 virtual sessions will be selected, providing space to exchange knowledge, build skills, generate discussion, and share solutions to move the needle on gender equality through solidarity and collective action.

   WD2023 is to adopt a new approach to organise the Concurrent program; Concurrent sessions will be organised through a matrix approach developed with the input and feedback from the WD2023 Advisory Group. Through this matrix approach, WD2023 attendees will be able to  tailor their experience at the Conference according to 1) WD2023’s objectives, 2) their issue areas of interest, 3) their desired learning approaches/formats, and 4) specific advocacy strategies.
