- 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

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)
“For 350 years we have been taught that reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man and writing an exact man. Football’s place is to add a patina of character, a deference to the rules and a respect for authority.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
