Convergence 2026: Global Practitioners Forum on Investment, Philanthropy, Development, and Trade
March 11–12, 2026, America University, Washington, D.C.

Convergence 2026 convenes 200 senior practitioners from philanthropy, global development, trade, investment, academia, and social innovation for two days of high-level dialogue and cross-sector collaboration.

Hosted by The Meridian Guild, the Forum is a direct response  to a rapidly shifting global landscape – one in which collective action, shared values, and integrated solutions are more essential than ever. .

The conference includes keynote conversations, practitioner-led workshops, policy and investment roundtables, curated networking sessions, and an invitation-only Impact Dinner.  Each  element is designed to foster partnerships and accelerate solutions for frontier and emerging markets.

Convergence 2026 is where ideas, capital, expertise, and purpose converge.
