The signature 2013 Global Diaspora Forum (GDF) in Washington, DC officially opened on Monday, May 13, 2013 at USAID headquarters and continued on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at the U.S. Department of State. Under the theme of "Where Ideas Meet Action" the 2013 Global Diaspora Forum provided the platform to discover inspiring stories from prominent diaspora figures in American popular culture, demonstrated exemplary initiatives in international development and diplomacy undertaken by diasporans of all generations, and showcased methods of organization and bridge-building that encourage next-generation diasporans to connect with their countries of heritage.
