USAID is hosting a two-day Scaling Impact Summit in Bangkok, Thailand on March 9 and 10, 2015.

The Scaling Impact Summit will address the complex adaptive systems in which development occurs and how we work within those systems. To that end, it will focus on scaling innovations to achieve, sustain and extend development impacts. Participants will explore potentially game-changing innovations that address development challenges and ways to partner effectively to evaluate and accelerate adoption of promising solutions.

The summit is a unique opportunity to meet and interact with approximately 90 people from a wide variety of organizations, including development professionals, academia, donors, entrepreneurs and private sector partners. The forum will provide an opportunity for participants to learn more about innovations currently under development and evaluate the challenges and opportunities for scaling innovations in the development context. Participants will also be able to network with the wider community that is creating and utilizing these technologies.

Space at the summit is limited, and unfortunately not everyone who applies will be invited to attend, so please apply by January 28. We will inform selected participants in early February.
