IFC 2020 sessions
-
Plenaries
Our opening and closing plenaries are specially created for the IFC. They are designed to inspire, to educate, and to challenge you to stretch your heart and mind, your ambition and your self-belief.
-
Masterclasses
Masterclasses are six and a half hours of intensive learning over two days. IFC masterclasses have a limited number of attendees so you will experience more powerful conversation, more intense exploration, and more deep-dive learning with an intimate group of delegates.

Workshops
IFC workshops offer a wealth of practical, strategic learning boiled down into 90-minute sessions served up by some of the most focused practitioners in the social impact sector.
-
Big Room
Bigger-than-life speakers, in front of a big crowd on a big stage in a big room, talking about The Big Issues.
-
Resource Cafe
Welcome to the fringe. To the edge… the cutting edge. Welcome to the alterna-conference, if you will. Welcome to the Resource Café! Our Resource Cafe events are more fluid than other session types. They allow you to engage informally with speakers and with each other: big on conversation, small on presentation, and with abundant couches! (after all, disruption isn’t always comfortable, but you should be)!
-
Learn at Lunch
If you still want more education beyond the regular session programme, Learn at Lunch sessions provide the opportunity to keep learning even during the lunch break. Make sure you eat at the restaurant first, then head to the relevant session room
-
Power Hour
During an IFC power hour, you’ll find opportunities for structured networking, or you may encounter a brand-new speaker at IFC sharing some of the freshest ideas you’ve ever (or never) heard of.
