Preference for workshops/dinner is on a first-come, first-served basis. Open to Georgetown students only.
UNICEF-Georgetown will be holding its 9th Annual International Development Conferenceon Friday, November 4th, 2011. The conference has enabled Georgetown students to interact with representatives of prominent organizations in the greater Washington, DC area through thought-provoking discussions on various international development topics. This year’s theme is universal education, one of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, in recognition of the importance of education for one and all to empower minds and inspire ambitions that culminate in the development of future generations.
We will be offering two workshop sessions (4:00-5:15pm, 5:30-6:45pm) in White-Gravenor classrooms followed by a dinner in the Copley Formal Lounge (7:00pm). Workshop sessions provide speakers with the opportunity to present students with their perspectives on current international development topics while the dinner allows for a more intimate setting in which to further discuss such topics. We are honored to have Cynthia McCaffrey, Chief of Staff, UNICEF as our keynote speaker this year. We will also be hosting speakers from the World Bank, the U.S. Department of State, FINCA, IAEA and the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy, among others.
Dress is business casual.
We hope to see you there!
