IFC 2018 sessions

Masterclasses

Six and a half hours over two days. The same group of info-hungry colleagues, in the same room, with the same amazing speakers - and the same intense but congenial vibe. More powerful conversation, more intense exploration, more deep-dive learningl

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.

The Resource Cafe

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 and super-comfy chairs! The more intimate setting and less structured agendas are well suited to a lively Q&A format, more back-and-forth between speaker and audience, and an overall feeling of ‘Together We Can’ among everyone in the room.

Plenaries

Our opening and closing plenaries are specially created for IFC. They are designed to inspire, to educate, and to challenge you to stretch your heart and mind, your ambition and your self-belief.

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.

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.

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...
