Development Drinks

Development Drinks 2021

Development Drinks is a monthly gathering hosted by GlobalPDX, for people interested in international development. This social event is meant to be a chance to connect with others and to learn about the work of GlobalPDX members. The gathering has been going on for years, and was the spark that lead to the creation of GlobalPDX. If you are a GlobalPDX Member Organization who would like to see your work highlighted during a virtual Development Drinks evening, contact [email protected] to learn about your next upcoming opportunity.

GlobalPDX kicks off our return to in-person events with a Member Appreciation Event on August 29th.
