Registration is closed. Because the 2022 Spring Meetings will be mostly virtual, Spring Meetings badges will not be issued, except to those Delegates who are approved to attend in person.
All events - including the public events, invitation-only events, Civil Society Organization engagements, and press conferences - will be virtual and accessible on WBG and IMF digital platforms.
Delegates are governmental officials of the member countries of the World Bank/IMF, who register through their respective Executive Director's office for the Meetings.

Delegates with questions about registering for the Spring Meetings should refer to their respective Executive Director's Office.
Delegates can continue to register for virtual participation until Thursday, April 28.
