Oct. 15-16, 2025
Washington, D.C.
As world leaders descend on Washington, D.C., for the World Bank and IMF Annual Meetings, Devex Impact House will serve as the unofficial hub for forward-looking conversations on the future of global development.
In a moment shaped by shifting political priorities, mounting debt, declining aid flows, and a growing push to rewire the multilateral system to meet 21st-century challenges, the question isn’t just how we fix the system — it’s how we reimagine it. At Devex Impact House, we’re spotlighting bold ideas, new models, and catalytic partnerships that are changing how development gets done.
Across two days of live journalism, this is where new ideas break through.
Devex Pro members will gain exclusive access to the Pro lounge, a place to recharge, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible — over smart conversations, strong coffee, and shared purpose.
This is not your typical convening. It’s a place to recharge, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible — over smart conversations, strong coffee, and shared purpose.
At a time when health, food, energy, and technology are too often siloed or in competition, Devex Impact House is where sectors find common ground and where leaders come to connect across disciplines, challenge assumptions, and push the conversation forward.
If you’re asking what’s next for global development, this is where you’ll find the answers — and the people shaping them.
Request an invite to join us in D.C.
