General Info/Logistics What are the dates for the Spring Meetings?

The principal week of the Spring Meetings is Monday, April 18 through Sunday, April 24. To accommodate for the time differences between countries, events may also take place outside the principal week of the Meetings.

The Spring Meetings will be mostly virtual. All events - including the public events, invitation-only events, Civil Society Organization engagements, and press conferences - will be virtual and accessible on WBG and IMF digital platforms. The International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), Development Committee (DC), and G20 meetings will be held in hybrid format and participants of those restricted meetings may participate in person or virtually. There will also be a small number of in-person bilateral meetings.
