The United Nations Civil Society Conference is the premier event on the civil society calendar at the United Nations. The Conference offers civil society organizations an opportunity to put a global perspective on a specific issue and brings together senior UN System officials, prominent international civil society organizations, youth changemakers, academia, public opinion makers, and international media to discuss issues of global concern. This international forum, which hosted more than 2000 participants, provided preliminary discussions and data ahead of the Summit of the Future in September 2024 at the UN Headquarters in New York.
