Events

Development Initiatives convenes stakeholders on pertinent issues relating to ending poverty and building resilience. Our events are a place to explore problems and solutions together so we can make better progress. Often in partnership with those who share our goals, our events take place all over the world as well as online, to ensure we are reaching those who can benefit most from the experts we bring together.
