Our flagship event, the SEEP Annual Conference gathers leading global thinkers and doers, at the forefront of economic inclusion and social empowerment efforts across the world. The SEEP Annual Conference is a unique forum where we debate bold ideas and learn openly from our failures, and challenge our own assumptions to build the next generation of development solutions in and beyond market systems.

In response to the rapidly evolving global crisis and with our steadfast commitment to creating a meaningful and safe experience for our community, we have decided to move to an entirely online forum with enhanced interaction and dynamic learning spaces, taking place on October 26-30, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the social and economic upheaval it has caused, has resulted in deep uncertainty and has accelerated SEEP's own journey of becoming a more agile network and team. The 2020 conference theme, Disruptive Collaboration: navigating a radically uncertain world, embodies this discomfort.

Furthermore, the conference will feature a technical stream devoted to Savings Groups at the Frontlines of COVID-19, which will explore how best to support groups and their members during this crisis and effectively engage them in community-level response efforts.
