The Sunday that starts UNGA week
Every year KW Strategy organises the Sunday evening welcome drinks that open United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) week for the global education community. Relaxed, informal, and free to attend: two hours of conversation with colleagues and friends from around the world before the week begins in earnest.
Attending is free, and so is the bar: our partner organisations fund the event so that everyone in the education community can come and network at no cost. Last year every one of the 140 places went, with a waitlist of 200 behind them. This year we needed a bigger venue, and the partners below stepped up and made it possible. All 300 places went within days of registration opening, and the waitlist is now closed too.

Thank you, and see you in 2027
Thank you to every one of the partners above. They are the reason the evening is free, and the reason it could grow from 140 places to 300 this year. Even that was not enough, and next year we will find a bigger venue again.
Partnering is what makes that possible. If your organisation would like to partner in 2027, let us know and we will be in touch when planning starts.
