The International Development Conference (IDC) at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government was created and continues to be led by students dedicated to improving lives of the poor in the developing world.  The IDC is an inter-disciplinary forum on global sustainable development which, every year, attracts over 600 participants from every corner of the world.  It aims to bring together students, faculty, professionals, government leaders, practitioners, and world figures to discuss, examine, and propose solutions to the most pressing development problems.
