We are very pleased to inform you that applications for the IAF Endorsed™ Facilitator designation are now open to all our members.  

The IAF Endorsed™ Facilitator (EF) designation is the first stage on the IAF Professional Development Pathway. 

Over a thousand people from around the world gathered at a virtual ceremony to honour 74 talented people who received a Facilitation Impact Award this year.

The Facilitation Impact Awards are the world’s most prestigious international awards honouring excellence in facilitation and the measurable impact facilitation has on the challenges faced by organisations.

[TORONTO ] The International Association of Facilitators (IAF) has been shortlisted for Best Conference Development at the International & European Association Awards 2020. IAF’s first-ever trilingual international conference, the 2019 Conference of the Americas, held in Portuguese, Spanish and English, is one of five projects nominated by the Association of Association Executives (AAE) in the category, which recognises the successful development or growth of an element of or the whole of an existing conference.

April 2020 has been a challenge for all of us who make our living by bringing people together. The IAF community has united around the challenge by supporting clients and each other to make the transition too new ways of facilitation that COVID-19 has made necessary.

What has inspired me personally is how we have created webinars, virtual sessions, the sharing of best practices and content, and the creation of friendships from all parts of the globe. Your willingness to help each other and share your time and expertise is what makes our community so special and unique.
