Women Deliver

Designing program publications for the global Women Deliver conferences in Copenhagen and Kuala Lumpur

Introduction

For the third time Designlounge worked with Women Deliver, the leading global advocate for girl’s and women’s health, rights and wellbeing, to design the program publications for the 2016 Global Conference that was held in Copenhagen, Denmark.

It was the largest gathering of this kind in over a decade and nearly 6,000 people from 169 countries participated to focus on important strategies that matter most for girls and women. The publications included the conference program, a pocket program, as well as other supporting printed communication materials.

A booth in the foyer with the enlarged floor plan applied helped participants navigate the conference halls of Copenhagen’s convention center.

We designed the program to help participants find specific events easily.

Clear section dividers and iconography support the reading experience.

Pocket Program

All events, the locations, and event times were condensed down to fit into a pocket program (4″ x 4″ when folded down) that was given out to the conference attendees as part of a welcome package.

We designed the small pocket program with an intricate folding system to fit into the name pouch.

It is an extraordinary feat to plan and organize a conference with 6,000 participants. We were delighted to have been able to contribute to this important gathering with the goal of supporting girl’s and women’s health, rights and wellbeing.1

We attended the conferences in Copenhagen (2016) and Kuala Lumpur (2013) where we were able to witness what has been achieved and what more will get done with the necessary investment-politically and financially-in the lives of girls and women worldwide.

2013 Global Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Designlounge worked with Women Deliver as well on the conference publications for the Washington D.C. conference in 2010 and for the conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2013. Besides the full program and the pocket program for the 2013 conference, we also designed two separate publications that highlighted the importance of investing in the rights and wellbeing of girls and women.
