Our inaugural DIVIA Conference, ‘Mind the Gap’—a biennial event alternating with the DIVIA Award ceremonies—introduced an engaging new format for our members and the wider public. The conference brought together international experts, researchers, practicing women architects, and students to explore diversity, and to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities for women in architecture. This marked an important step towards fostering a more inclusive and collaborative community within the fields of architecture and design, acknowledging and building upon the essential contributions of women in shaping the future.
