Devex IMPACT HOUSE: The Capital Summit

WHERE INFLUENCE, CAPITAL, AND INNOVATION CONVERGE TO
SHAPE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT’S NEXT ERA.

A new era of global development is taking shape — one defined by shifting power, new business models, and a rapidly evolving financial architecture. And nowhere is that transformation more visible than during the Spring Meetings of the World Bank and IMF in Washington, D.C., when the world’s most influential decision-makers converge to debate the future of development finance.

Devex — headquartered in this nexus of power, finance, and policy — is convening Devex Impact House: The Capital Summit on April 15–16, 2026, alongside the Spring Meetings. This is where the most consequential conversations will happen: bringing together ministers, CEOs, philanthropists, investors, MDB leaders, and the innovators changing the game.

The stakes — and the opportunity — have never been greater. If you want to understand and influence global development’s next era, this is the room to be in.

The conversations we'll explore include:

● The Shifting Global Power Map
● The New Economics of Development
● Innovating Through Uncertainty
● Building the Digital Future
● Who’s Shaping What’s Next
● Beyond the Aid Narrative
