You are cordially invited to the International Association of Facilitators (IAF) Europe Conference in Oxford, United Kingdom from the 18th to 20th September 2009. The Conference will be held at Keble College set amongst the historic 'Dreaming Spires' of the famous university city of Oxford.




2009 is The European Year of Creativity & Innovation, designed to provide a platform for reflection and exchange of ideas across Europe. This year also brings opportunities for our profession provided by the economic and social challenges facing Europe and the world, both in business and our communities.

The developing conference programme will provide a creative forum for professional facilitators to come together, share ideas, practices, hopes and aspirations for the future in one community. This sense of community is always the number one request from attendees to IAF Conferences and by being on one site - Keble College, Oxford - this is an ideal setting for this to happen.



IAF Conferences are renowned for creating a vibrant learning community, so who should attend?
