- The Geneva Naval Conference of 1927, which discussed naval arms limitation
- The Geneva Conference of 1932, a continuation of the previous naval arms conference
- The Geneva Conference of 1954, which discussed Korea and Indochina
- The Geneva Summit of 1955, where "The Big Four" – President Dwight D. Eisenhower of the United States, Prime Minister Anthony Eden of Britain, Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin of the Soviet Union, and Prime Minister Edgar Faure of France – discussed global security
- The Geneva Conference of 1973, on the Arab–Israeli conflict
- The Geneva Conference of 1976, on Rhodesia
- The Geneva Summit of 1985, where Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and US President Ronald Reagan held discussions on international relations and the arms race
- The Geneva Accord of 2003, which is a model permanent status agreement to end the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
Famous quotes containing the words geneva and/or conference:
“Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The tell-tale body is all tongues. Men are like Geneva watches with crystal faces which expose the whole movement.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The peace conference must not adjourn without the establishment of some ordered system of international government, backed by power enough to give authority to its decrees. ... Unless a league something like this results at our peace conference, we shall merely drop back into armed hostility and international anarchy. The war will have been fought in vain ...”
—Virginia Crocheron Gildersleeve (1877–1965)
