UN at 80: Shaping our Future Together
Reflecting on 80 years of the United Nations and looking ahead
For eight decades, the United Nations has shaped our world for the better – supporting peace, driving sustainable development, defending human rights, and responding to humanitarian crises. In 2025, as the UN marks its 80th anniversary, we invite you to join us for a one-day conference that explores this legacy – and the future.
📅 Date: Tuesday, 22 October 2025
📍 Venue: Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park
Hosted by UNAA NSW, “UN at 80: Shaping Our Future Together” will bring together leaders, diplomats, academics, activists, and professionals to reflect on the UN’s impact and explore how Australia can contribute to the global mission moving forward.
This event is more than a celebration - it’s a call to action. With high-profile speakers, in-depth panels, and diverse voices, we’ll tackle the big questions: How do we build a safer, fairer, more sustainable future? And what role can Australia play?
