Full details of our speakers and workshops can be found on our website, please visit this year’s conference page.

Workshops are breakout sessions from the main conference. Each session lasts 1 hour, and is generally limited to 60 delegates. They can take the form of a presentation, or panel discussion, but whatever format the speaker chooses they are always interactive, and delegates get the opportunity to get involved, or ask questions.

Each year, ifasic presents approximately eight to ten main conference speakers, whose talks will last approximately forty five minutes each, along with six-eight workshop hosts.

All ifasic conferences kick off with Welcome drinks on the evening before the first full conference day, where our delegates will get the opportunity to meet and socialise with their fellow delegates, our speakers and the conference committee members, over a drink or two.

On the first full conference day, our talks begin at 9:00am. The talks comprise a mixture of lectures and workshops throughout the day, where speakers from within the fine art & specie market (both industry and insurance markets) give us their insight into their respective fields. In the workshops, delegates are invited to listen to and join in with the discussions on specific topics. The conference day closes at around 5:00pm.

That evening from around 7:30pm, delegates attend dinner and drinks together to discuss the events of the day and to develop their contacts.

On the second full conference day, our talks begin again at around 9:00am. Again, the talks comprise a mixture of lectures and workshops throughout the day. Shortly before the conference closes, our delegates reconvene back in the main conference hall for a closing speech by our Conference Host.

Our conference finally draws to a close at around 4:00pm on final day.
