The 2014 Joint World Conference on Social Work, Education, and Social Development was held in Melbourne, Australia July 9–12, 2014. The theme of the conference was Promoting Social and Economic Equality, which is the first commitment of the Global Agenda, developed by the International Association of Schools of Social Work, the International Council on Social Welfare, and the International Federation of Social Workers. Presentations were given by participants addressing the following themes:  sustainable and ethical use of technology, addressing health inequalities and disadvantages, creating sustainable and safe physical environments, educating for change, human rights and equality, fostering social and economic initiatives, and strengthening social and cultural well-being.  Also during the conference, Kendall Institute Advisory Board Member Lynne Healy was given the IASSW Katherine A. Kendall Institute Memorial Award.  After receiving the award, Healy gave a speech titled Ensuring Rights, Inclusion, and Equality: A Holistic Post-2015 Agenda for Social Work.
