Seville, Spain, is hosting the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development. This is a United Nations summit bringing together 60 heads of state and government and 200 delegations. IPCM representatives are accredited.

The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (Ff4D) is being held in Seville from June 30 to July 3. The day before, June 29, the King and Queen of Spain hosted a welcome dinner for world leaders.
