Event description

This year, 1,000 thinkers, doers, change-makers, and expert practitioners will once again converge in person for Devex World in Washington. Attendees to the fourth edition of this unique global development event can expect a full day of inspiring, interactive, and collaborative sessions with one focus: turning ideas into action.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the increasing impacts of climate change, and conflicts creating ripple effects across the globe, no one sector, function, or professional can afford to miss the opportunity for transformation.
