Here we go. We’ve got two big events happening in Washington D.C. this week. First up is the gathering of global development leaders at our flagship summit, Devex World, on Oct. 24. We’ll be discussing four key themes: how to scale what works, how to change the narrative around global development, how to harness frontier technologies, and how to mobilize more money — with top-level speakers including John Nkengasong, U.S. global AIDS coordinator, and Tariye Gbadegesin, CEO of the Climate Investment Funds.
We’re excited to see many of you there! If you haven’t signed up yet, it’s not too late but please make sure to register as soon as possible. Pro members get $400 off the ticket price by using the code pro-final-call-discount at checkout. You’ll also have access to the Pro Lounge, a space to mingle, relax, and connect with speakers.
Devex World takes place alongside the World Bank annual meetings next week. We’ll have a big team there, tracking critical conversations about multilateral development bank reforms, replenishment of the International Development Association (the bank's fund for the poorest countries), climate lending, debt relief, and more. Some sources are expecting fewer announcements than usual, partly because the upcoming U.S. election will hang over the proceedings. My colleagues will bring you all the news from the ground.
