Call for Presentations: For the IWG Global Summit 2026

Call for Presentations: Share Your Expertise at the IWG Global Summit 2026

Do you have findings, insights, learnings or best practice examples that can help level the playing field for women and girls in sport? Do you want to share your expertise with global leaders, policymakers and change makers?

The International Working Group (IWG) on Women and Sport is the world’s largest network dedicated to advancing gender equality and equity for women and girls in sport and physical activity.

Every four years, IWG hosts its Global Summit, the foremost gathering of its kind that brings together leaders, stakeholders and decision makers from across the world. The IWG Global Summit is a unique platform to exchange knowledge, showcase innovation and shape the future of women and girls in sport.

In 2026, the IWG Global Summit will take place at the ICC in Birmingham, UK, from 9 – 11 July.

With five core themes of investment, leadership, innovation, visibility and participation guiding the programme, we are inviting proposals to supplement the event through:

• 10-minute presentation on our Insight Stage

• Digital poster presentations

• Take part in a Shift\Session

If your expertise aligns with one of the core themes – or if you bring a fresh, bold perspective to what we are trying to achieve – we want to hear from you. Submit your proposal by 31 October 2025 using the application form.

Join us in shaping a more equitable future for women and girls in sport and physical activity.
