#wef15 stands for World Economic Forum 2015. According to their site:
"The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting convenes global leaders from across business, government, international organizations, academia and civil society in Davos for strategic dialogues which map the key transformations reshaping the world."
In other words, it's super serious and important.
The forum started yesterday, on Thursday, January 21, and will end 3 days later, on Saturday. The full programme is HERE. (January 23 starts at page 61)
He For She will have its own conference that didn't seem to be part of the programme:

WHAT
UN Women, the United Nations entity dedicated to achieving gender equality and women's empowerment, will unveil HeForShe's new pilot initiative, to galvanize momentum in advancing gender equality and women's empowerment. The new campaign IMPACT 10X10X10 is a one-year pilot effort that aims to engage governments, corporations and universities as instruments of change positioned within some of the communities that most need to address deficiencies in women's empowerment and gender equality. Top global leaders who will serve as founding Champions of the effort will be present to speak about the initiative. Media will then be given time for questions. After the press conference, a panel event will take place for invited guests.
