The Hope for Europe - Women in Leadership Conference took place in Budapest from October 8 to 12, 2025. Over 70 women, aged 17 to 78, gathered at Hotel Rubin to focus on the theme Growing in Courage and Competence. Financial support from UN Women and the Center for Strategic Research and Development of Georgia helped ensure broad participation from 22 European countries.

The five-day event brought together speakers such as Connie Main Duarte, Dr. Kristina Ecis, and Dr. Jenn Williamson. Keynote talks, Bible studies, and panel discussions filled the schedule, with Julia Doxat Purser leading conversations alongside Connie Main Duarte and Amanda Jackson.

The conference wrapped up with a strong emphasis on mentorship and unity. Financial backing from UN Women and CSRDG had enabled diverse representation, while the mix of workshops and prayer sessions created lasting connections.
