** Forum 2024

Each year, InterAction convenes the NGO community, and 2024 will be no exception. However, this is not your typical Forum of the past. In honor of our 40th Anniversary, we decided to elevate Forum to the next level. Be ready for two full days dedicated to learning, growth, and innovation, all with a singular focus: making the world a better place—together.
Are you ready to be part of Forum 2024?
This is an open call for two types of session proposals welcoming contributions from all corners of the community. Whether you work for an NGO, partner with a non-profit, or are a business dedicated to making a difference, we want to hear from you.
Forum will take place June 26 & 27 in Washington, D.C.
