Since 2008, OxFID has been facilitating conversation and collaboration between actors in international development, inspiring attendees to engage with global issues, and providing opportunities for networking and dialogue across a range of sectors and disciplines.

Previously, we have hosted Nobel peace prize laureate Tawakkol Karman and Malala Yousafzai as well as UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner.
