GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT IS AT A CROSSROADS.
THAT CROSSROADS HAS AN ADDRESS THIS SUMMER:
CASA DEVEX IN SEVILLA, SPAIN.
As the world gathers to define the future of development finance at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development in Sevilla, Devex is hosting an exclusive gathering space for leaders. Casa Devex will be held June 29-July 1 at a historic Spanish villa.
Casa Devex will host high level dinners, luncheons, breakfasts, and receptions in partnership with leading organizations, including AIIB, BCG, Gates Foundation, ONE, Open Society Foundations, Paris Peace Forum, and Stellar Development Foundation. Devex journalists will conduct on-stage interviews with officials and luminaries for an in-person and online audience. And, throughout, Casa Devex will offer an informal gathering point with meeting space and local cuisine.
Delegates to FfD4 can request an invitation to Casa Devex here. For organizations seeking to host partner events with Devex, please contact us.
