IFC Asia 2018 Sessions

Masterclasses

Master classes are intensive 5 ½ hour sessions on Monday 18 June, 11:30-18:00 (including break), where expert speakers share in-depth, cutting edge expertise.

Workshops

Hands-on. Nitty-gritty. Down and dirty. A wealth of practical, strategic learning boiled down into 90-minute helpings served up by some of the most focused practitioners in the social impact sector. That's our IFC workshop program. These fast-paced sessions will leave you with amazing new tools for your toolkit, backed up by a healthy touch of theory. Scheduling conflict? No worries. Most workshops are purposefully worked into the schedule more than once so you don't miss a thing. CHECK BACK HERE OFTEN AS WE ANNOUNCE NEW WORKSHOPS.

Keynotes

Moments packed with so much WHOA, you might forget to breathe. Insights that rock you to your professional - or even personal - core. Words that elicit sheer joy. Or pain, or confusion, or anger. Outstanding speakers taking to the big stage... pumping you up to breathe fire and take in the conference, or winding you down and sending you back to work primed to take on the world. These are IFC plenaries and keynotes. Come early, stay late so you don't miss a minute. KEEP AN EYE ON THIS SPOT FOR EXCITING NEWS ABOUT OUR PLENARY SPEAKERS.

Big Room

Bigger-than-life speakers, in front of a big crowd on a big stage in a big room, talking about The Big Picture or The Big Issues. That's our Big Room lineup of sessions. Some of the biggest -- and occasionally weirdest -- moments of IFC happen on the big stage! CHECK BACK HERE FOR DETAILS ON BIG ROOM SESSIONS AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.

Power Hour

A fearless sector pro standing in front of a roomful of delegates saying, "Ask Me Anything"! A brand-new speaker at IFC sharing some of the freshest ideas you've ever (or never) heard of. That's our IFC Power Hour sessions, where you never know what you're going to get. Neither masterclass nor workshop, these are quick glimpses at some brilliance you might not find anywhere else. CHECK BACK TO STAY IN THE KNOW AS OUR POWER HOUR ROSTER TAKES SHAPE.

Lunch & Learn

Easy enough... lunch & learn! Grab some food and settle in for a casual conversation lead by a sector expert who might be just a tad bit more accessible than in more formal session settings. Easy access to great minds... that's our IFC Lunch & Learn program. CHECK BACK AS WE FILL UP AND ANNOUNCE OUR LUNCH & LEARN ROSTER.

Other special sessions

Then there are those sessions that defy description. That maybe just don't fit anywhere else. Those are our IFC special sessions. Maybe someone is presenting a session in a Happy Hour format. Or the opening speaker is hosting a very un-plenary-like Q&A gab session. Or someone has wheeled a grand piano into the room. Who knows what's next? CHECK BACK AS WE ANNOUNCE THESE UNIQUE LEARNING AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES.
