This conference was led by practitioners involved in the International Research Networking Project “Language and Gender: Academic Research and Practical Implementation.” Focusing on questions related to the implementation of gender-inclusive language, they presented achievements and challenges within their organizations and companies.
Furthermore, individuals interested in the subject were invited to join as “attending only” and were given the opportunity to participate in discussions and Q&As. To ensure fair access for all, no charges or fees were required to attend the conference.
Over 130 people participated in the conference. Excluding the presenters, 119 attendees registered for the event. They were based in 35 countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malta, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the United Kingdom (UK), Ukraine, and the United States of America (USA).
