THEME: Staying Future Relevant – The Next Generation  

XX WORLD CONFERENCE OF REGULAR GRAND LODGES

The world is evolving — and so are the generations shaping it.

To remain relevant, meaningful, and visible in society, Freemasonry must understand and respond to the needs, values, and expectations of Millennials and Generation Z. Without fresh perspectives and new leadership pathways, organisations risk stagnation and diminished impact.

We invite you to attend the three-day World Conference on the Future of Freemasonry — a forward-thinking gathering dedicated to practical solutions for sustaining and strengthening our Craft.

The conference will explore:

  • The role Freemasonry can play in the lives of younger generations
  • How to communicate our timeless principles in a modern world
  • Ways to nurture learning, unlock potential, and build future leaders
  • Practical strategies to ensure continuity and long-term relevance

Through dialogue, shared experience, and actionable insights, Brethren from around the world will work together to shape a strong and sustainable future for Freemasonry.
