The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. International Women's Day (IWD) has occurred for well over a century, with the first March 8 IWD gathering supported by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. Prior to this the Socialist Party of America, United Kingdom's Suffragists and Suffragettes, and further groups campaigned for women equality. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. IWD is not country, group or organisation specific. Make IWD your day! - everyday!</i><br><br>Source: www.internationalwomensday.com <br>#IWD2018 #PressforProgress<br><br><b>Details of the event</b><br>Time: <br>7:00 AM – 7:30 AM (Registration, arrival tea & coffee, breakfast),<br>7:30 AM – 7:35 AM (MC, ACS introduction)<br>7:35 AM - 8:40 AM (Presentations)<br>8:40 AM – 9:00 AM (Networking)<br><br><b>*Please join us for networking after the presentation.</b></div>
