Annual Meetings: World Bank Live Events

October 9-15, 2023

The World Bank-International Monetary Fund Annual Meetings are back this year from October 9-15, and we hope you’ll join us! Live from Marrakech, Morocco, the 2023 Meetings focus on what it will take to end poverty on a livable planet. Events will explore the new playbook we need to respond to intertwined global challenges. What solutions have worked on the ground in developing countries? How do we boost jobs, digital infrastructure, and climate action?

Join us beginning October 9 as we livestream these discussions. This is your opportunity to interact with central bankers, ministers, private sector executives, civil society representatives, youth leaders, academics, and others on issues facing our world today. Watch and participate online in our live chat as we bring you our events in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish.
