Meetings and events
We use our convening power to bring together government, business, civil society, academia and other international organizations. Together, we debate, exchange experiences, identify best practices, and develop global standards on the most pressing issues of the day.
These discussions take place at hundreds of events, which we organize every year, mostly at our headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
We believe good policy drives progress. By providing evidence-based policy analysis, we help countries to improve economic, social and environmental outcomes.
