SAGE 2025 set out with a clear goal: changing mindsets in a changing world. As our social, technological, and cultural landscapes evolved, so did our strategies for achieving gender equality. We focused on shifting perspectives and sparking progress across three critical topics: Male Allyship & Positive Masculinity, Mid-life Health & Wellbeing, and Technology & Artificial Intelligence.

How can policies and workplaces support women in mid-life? We explore this pivotal stage where women face invisible challenges such as career transitions and menopause.

Technology is shaping the future, but who is shaping the technology? We explore how tech and AI can bridge or widen the gender gap.
