Conferences

Every year Inspire organises an international conference on a specific theme related to sexual and reproductive health and rights in development cooperation and global policy.  Our conferences bring together bright minds and leaders from our community, civil society at large and like-minded stakeholders from across the world to discuss a wide range of idea-focused subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter.


Through its conferences Inspire seeks to support a broad community of stakeholders to promote and advance a comprehensive SRHR agenda. Inspire conferences are hosted every year by a different member organisation (which also organises the network’s Annual General Meeting) in a different European country.
