IFS Conference Team
2021 IFS Conference Call for Workshop Proposals
Thank you for your interest in joining us virtually this fall! The Call for Proposals period is one of our most looked forward to steps in the planning process. A time where we get to hear from so many IFS Community members and learn about the exciting work you are doing in bringing the IFS Model out into the world.
The 2021 IFS Conference will be hosted online for the first time giving access to IFS Community members all around the world. We are exploring new formats for presenting workshops. If you have submitted an IFS Conference workshop in the past you will notice how different this process will be. As mentioned above in the video tutorial, the first step is to create your new user login! This login is specific to the online program we are using for the IFS Conference. *This is not the login you may have for the IFSI website, Online Circle, and other programs run through the IFS Institute.
As always we strive to offer workshops that cover a variety of content areas that offer an exploration of the Model to those new to IFS, and allow for those with more experience to deepen their knowledge. The 2021 IFS Conference will offer that and more as the conference will offer workshops, panel discussions, networking opportunities just to name a few.
