Development2030 - Re-energising the SDGs - Time to break the cycle and reinvent international development to super charge progress towards the SDGs
Development2030 is a unique exhibition dedicated to bringing together global development actors to help achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). It is the place for the global development community to build meaningful relationships, get inspired and meet like-minded individuals committed to achieving the 2030 goals.
The event takes place on 23-24 October 2024 at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland and is co-located with AidEx; together, they welcome over 3000 representatives from the international development and humanitarian aid community, all under one roof.
The events are attended by global development actors, NGOs, foundations, philanthropic organisations, senior economic, social and environmental advisors, members of government, investors, donors, multilateral banks, multi-national organisations (such as the UN and EU) and private sector companies.
