The Annual Meetings Plenary Session brings together the Boards of Governors of the Fund and the World Bank to address issues of global concern, including the world economic outlook, poverty eradication, economic development, and aid effectiveness. Plenary seating diagrams indicating sections reserved for delegations and invited participants will be available on IMF Connect and on monitors in the lobbies of the meetings venues. Plenary seating includes seats for each member country’s Bank and Fund Governors. Each delegation will be allocated two seats immediately behind its Governor(s). All other members of the delegation will be seated theater-style in reserved areas.
Official Meetings
In the context of the Annual Meetings, the IMF and WBG host meetings of the International Monetary and Financial Committee and the Developments Committee, as well as a number of other related Ministerial-level meetings, such as the G-20, G-24, Commonwealth, and BRICS, beginning on October 9.
Seminars and Talks
The seminars and flagship events that take place during the week of the Annual Meetings create a forum for government delegates, policy-makers, the private sector, representatives of civil society, academics and senior WBG and IMF staff to engage on the major financial and development issues currently confronting the international community. They are designed to generate discussion and debate as well as promote partnership, cooperation, and knowledge-sharing. These events are open to all accredited participants. There is no separate registration, and attendance is on a first-come, first-seated basis.
Cultural Events
Cultural and Hospitality Programs have been organized by the Host Government and are specially tailored to allow all registered participants to experience the many facets of the culture of Indonesia.
