Health, climate change, refugees and migration, food insecurity, DEI, localization, refugees and migration are just some of the cross-cutting issues that practitioners in international development face today. The 2023 SID-US Annual Conference seeks to examine the shifts across the field that are defining the next decade and beyond with the theme of Power Shift. By bringing together 1,400+ international development professionals from around the globe, both virtually and in-person, the conference is sure to spark conversations on the existing dynamics within the sector, and how we can change them for the better.
