How to Experience the IFRS Foundation Conference in 2024

We are excited to welcome as many of you in person to the conference on 24th and 25th June in London. However, we recognise that not everyone will be able to physically attend, due to factors such as travel expenses that could be incurred.

What's more, the long distances involved in travelling to IFRS Foundation Conference 2024 for delegates outside Europe has sometimes meant they couldn't always attend when they wanted to.

IFRS Foundation Conference 2024 will take place as normal for those who are able to travel to London but if you can't be there in person, virtual attendance is available.

IFRS Foundation Conference 2024 will bring together physical and digital attendees - expanding its community and increasing the number of people for you to meet.

You can either:

• attend the physical event AND enjoy the benefits of the digital event too.
• or book a digital only pass and get remote access to the same speakers, insights, attendees and experts without leaving your home or office.

The hybrid event model marries the physical event with a digital mirror of it enabling:

• Live content AND on demand viewing. All sessions will be live streamed and recorded. So attendees of the physical event can see ALL the sessions and speakers they missed during the event. And attendees of the digital event can choose to watch some sessions and speakers as they happen - and other content at a time that suits them.
• Both digital-only and physical pass holders will access a single delegate list on the same platform. Message and arrange meetings with anyone of interest to you, whether they are in London or at their desk remotely.

If you book a physical or digital pass and change your mind further down the line, we can easily switch it for you and amend the price accordingly:

• moving from the physical to the digital only pass means you will pay the price of the digital pass available at the time you change your pass.
• moving from the digital to the physical pass means you will pay the price of the physical pass at the time you booked your digital pass originally.
  
  ...Good news for you as it may be less than the currently advertised price of the physical event pass.

By offering the IFRS Foundation Conference digitally, we are committing to make the event more sustainable by:

• removing / reducing the requirement to fly
• removing / reducing the number of hotel stays

At the IFRS Foundation Conference, we are committed to:

• powering the event by renewable electricity, helping us in our journey to Net Zero.

• replacing paper documentation with digitized materials and video
• consolidating travel requirements by providing the opportunity to meet everyone you need, to in one place
