FAWCO holds its conference and Annual General Meeting every year in March in a different city around the world. Representatives from the FAWCO clubs attend to participate in the work of the FAWCO Council and, as members of the Board of Representatives, to discuss and adopt resolutions which will direct FAWCO’s focus for the coming 2 years, elect the Board of Directors, and hear updates about FAWCO’s NGO, US Concerns, and Task Force activities. The FAWCO Foundation announces its Education Award and Development Grant recipients and holds its annual fundraising event.

The conference also offers practical training sessions in organizational development and leadership, which the delegates may use to strengthen their own organizations. The presidents and representatives of FAWCO clubs exchange ideas, share best practices and solutions to common issues, and build their network.

FAWCO conferences include speakers, workshops, and cultural opportunities for both delegates and guests. Past speakers have included Jehan Sadat; Harriet Mayer Fulbright; Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York; the seventh President of Ireland, Mary Robinson; and H.M. Queen Silvia of Sweden.
