Not-for-profit | |
 | |
| |
| Women Deliver is a not-for-profit event.
To ensure global participation from the
health and development community, the conference
organizers seek only to offset direct conference
costs. Registration fees have been kept as
low as possible; in addition, the conference
organizers are supporting representatives from
30 developing countries, including ministers of
finance and planning, parliamentarians, youth,
and members of civil society, among others.
The conference has established a two-tier
pricing policy for exhibition space for the
profit and not-for-profit-sector, in an effort
to secure representation from all sectors.
