With a group of young people at the World Bank, we've launched an annual conference series on topics in taxation with relevance for developing countries. 

The 2020 conference will focus on Taxing Personal Income and Wealth in Developing Countries. It will be held on May 7-8, 2020, in Washington DC. Here is the conference website.
