Annual Meetings
The Social Performance Task Force holds a multi-day meeting for all members every year, usually in June. The annual meeting is a place where the full task force meets to discuss progress made in the previous year, to debate pressing issues, and to set an agenda for SPTF’s work for the following year. Individual working groups also meet in break-out sessions to discuss in further detail their particular areas of interest and expertise.
Below please find information about this year's meeting as well as the past few meetings. For materials from annual meetings in earlier years, please send a request to SPTF at
