Organization

Program development
We received an overwhelming number of conference proposals—nearly 400 submissions across all tracks—and we're deeply grateful for all contributions. All proposals were carefully reviewed by members of our Advisory Board and International Sounding Board. Given the high quality of submissions, the selection process was both competitive and rigorous, with scoring factors such as urgency, representation, innovation, and actionable take-home message. In the spirit of Unity, the theme of WorldPride 2026, some proposals were offered to join forces with others in a Unity Session. These sessions are designed to connect submissions with similar insights from different organisations or regions of the world, strengthening knowledge and experience.
