GDN Annual Conferences

Global perspective on current development debates

Global Development Network
The GDN’s annual conferences provide the venue for an exciting exchange on issues of sustainable development and poverty reduction held each year in a different region of the world.

By bringing together both researchers and policymakers, we provide the first step in facilitating greater exchanges between local policymakers and the local research we support.

GDN conferences are typically by invitation. Participants include Nobel Laureates and other internationally renowned researchers, researchers representing every region in the developing and transition world, heads of government, representatives of national and international organizations and sponsors of research.
