Gracie currently is attending IOC's 9th International Athletes' Forum in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Per her recent Instastory, she was en route to Lausanne.

And she can be seen in this group photo of the event:
She is in the left half of the photo, wearing a black turtleneck, with her hair in a topknot.

In another group photo, attendees are standing in formation of "365," and Gracie is part of the left side of the "6."
(Athlete365 is the name of the official community for Olympians and elite athletes.)

"The International Athletes’ Forum is a bi-annual event bringing together athlete representatives from across the Olympic Movement to discuss the most important and topical issues affecting athletes, with a focus on working together to develop recommendations designed to promote change."

"The Forum will cover the most pressing issues for athletes today, including the fight against doping, the IOC’s financial model and support to athletes, and athlete mental health."


ETA:

Jonathan Guerreiro and Javier Raya also are at the athletes' forum. They took photos with Gracie, which are on their Instastories.​

ETA:

Gracie sent a video message that she recorded at the athletes' forum in Lausanne to congratulate Team USA for winning WTT.

ETA:

Gracie will be speaking on a panel discussing mental health.


If anyone cares (apparently not): IIRC, the entire forum is being live streamed.​

ETA:

Link below is to video snippet of panelist Gracie's comments. The snippet is about social media and the pressure to be perfect.


At link below, sixth photo shows the row of panelists, with Gracie speaking at the moment. The post also explains how to re-watch full sessions.

Olympic Channel's interview with GG (5+ minutes):

Gracie Gold on mental health: "There's this pressure to be perfect"
The Sochi 2014 team bronze medallist Gracie Gold tells us why her mental health unravelled: "The eating disorder that lives in my head says you are gross, please quit."
