Following the success of WOW Nepal 2024, we are coming together for two days of meaningful conversations, idea exchange, creativity, and new connections. With more than 5,000 people expected to join us this year - through stories, art, collective expressions and shared experiences – WOW Nepal will, together, envision a more equal world. The Festival will feature talk programmes, speeches, exhibitions, workshops, and performances by women and gender diverse creative professionals from all walks of life.
