The landscape of international development is shifting rapidly, with the freeze in U.S. foreign assistance funding putting jobs, organizations, and life-saving aid at risk worldwide. Now more than ever, we need to come together to navigate these challenges.

To address these uncertainties, the 2025 Posner Symposium will now be a one-day event on March 13th with a renewed focus on the future of international development—from diversifying funding sources to leading through uncertainty.
