Why it's needed
We are now well past the midway point of Agenda 2030, yet sustainable development challenges are not being met, and in many situations are going off track. Mobilizing heritage collections through stronger cross-sector partnerships is crucial for achieving these global goals.
Who should participate
This conference invites a diverse array of participants, including government representatives, local policymakers, professionals from museums, libraries, and archives, civil society organizations, and leaders from across sectors working to advance sustainable development. Community groups, students, researchers, faith leaders, and activists are also encouraged to join and engage in meaningful discussions.
Be Part of the Conversation - Register Early! The first 500 registered participants will gain exclusive access to the conference via our Zoom platform, including interactive breakout sessions at the end of each day. These sessions are your chance to contribute directly, share ideas, and help shape the outcomes of the event.
After we reach capacity, all additional attendees are warmly welcomed to follow the conference presentations and panels via live YouTube streaming, ensuring no one misses out on the inspiration and insights.
