Who is involved in the Inter­na­tional Devel­op­ment Conference?




The Inter­na­tional Devel­op­ment Con­fer­ence at Har­vard is a yearly student-organized, student-run con­fer­ence ded­i­cated to fos­ter­ing a con­struc­tive dia­logue between lead­ing aca­d­e­mics, prac­ti­tion­ers, pol­icy mak­ers and stu­dents con­cerned with cre­at­ing a bet­ter world. The Con­fer­ence is hosted at the Kennedy School and is a joint effort between stu­dents at Har­vard, MIT and Carnegie Mel­lon Uni­ver­sity.




Who can reg­is­ter for the conference?




Since the theme for the con­fer­ence, “7 Bil­lion – Devel­op­ment in a New World” is so diverse, we have taken spe­cial care to design pan­els, work­shops, and have arranged speak­ers that will meet the inter­ests of all par­tic­i­pants. The con­fer­ence is geared for any­one with an inter­est in Inter­na­tional Devel­op­ment. Par­tic­i­pants usu­ally include Havard stu­dents, Non-Harvard and inter­na­tional stu­dents, and devel­op­ment prac­ti­tion­ers from all over the world.




Do I need to reg­is­ter ahead of time?




Typ­i­cally, con­fer­ence tick­ets sell out well in advance of the con­fer­ence date. The ticket reg­is­tra­tion also allows you to con­vey your inter­est in attend­ing a par­tic­u­lar panel, work­shop or the net­work­ing lunch. We highly rec­om­mend that you pur­chase your ticket early to ensure your par­tic­i­pa­tion. To reg­is­ter your­self, click here
