I would like to bring to the attention of the HIFA network this great opportunity for members from LMICs to attend the film festival of the Global Women’s Research Conference for Free. Also very good rates from those in HICs.
The information is below.
Best wishes

Subject GLOW 2026 - Royal Colleges Panel
Dear all,
We very much look forward to welcoming you as part of our Royal Colleges and Power panel at GLOW 2026.
In the final weeks before the conference, we are trying to push our online-only tickets (free for LMIC residents, £20 for students, £40 for all other attendees) and film-festival only tickets (£20).
I was therefore wondering whether you might please be able to advertise these through your networks? We are particularly hoping to increase our reach amongst attendees from LMIC.
I have attached here JPEG advertisements for the tickets, along with suggested broadcasting messages.
Best wishes
Talia
