GLOW 2026 is a biennial conference bringing together researchers, clinicians, policymakers, advocates and community partners from around the world to connect on global women, newborn, child, and reproductive health. Co-hosted by University College London and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and delivered in partnership with the Royal Colleges, this year’s meeting explores the theme of POWER – examining how structural, political, economic and digital forces shape health across the life course.  
 
Over two days, attendees will engage with leading global experts, hear cutting-edge research and policy innovations, and participate in interactive sessions designed to challenge existing paradigms and inspire new approaches. From plenaries on inequity and global health financing, to breakout sessions on overlooked topics in global women, newborn, child and reproductive health, to the first GLOW Film Festival, the conference will provide a space to learn, question and connect with colleagues. 
 
The programme is designed to be multidisciplinary and inclusive – featuring practitioners from diverse settings and across all career stages. Whether you work in clinical practice, public health and policy, data science, or community advocacy, GLOW 2026 offers a platform to share insights, build partnerships and collaborate on solutions.
