IMF/World Bank annual meetings

IMF and World Bank meet each autumn in what is officially known as the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group and each spring in the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group.

On the weekend of the autumn meetings the G7 also meets.

(Actually, the names of the two groups are swapped each year so a different one has top billing.)

These meetings are centerpoints for anti-globalization movement protests.
