Welcome to IAF England & Wales.

Join our Meetups

IAF England & Wales hosts regular Meetups for anyone interested in facilitation, hosting meetings, or running workshops. These sessions are designed to help people build their network of fellow facilitators, support each other in our work challenges, and learn from each other. They are free to attend, you do not have to be a member of the IAF to participate in them, and are led by volunteers from within our community.

There are two key types of Meetups that we offer:

1- Monthly on-line meetups, each lasting 90 minutes (no need to stay full session) taking place on the third Friday of each month from 09:30 to 11:0 am GMT. For more information and to sign up please see our Eventbrite page.

These meet-ups allow attendees to:

• gain insight and experience from other facilitators as to any current issues you may be working on
• explore a topic of interest (detailed on each Meetup booking page)
• networking and community discussion

2- Face to face in-person meetups, open to being held by anyone in the facilitation community in local cafes and low cost venues for facilitators in different geographic aread to physically meet up together. Anyone in our community can 'put up their hand' to offer to act as the host for one of these in-person socials. 

We are currently running regular in person meet-ups in Bristol, London and Sheffield. These are usually advertised on the IAF England & Wales LinkedIn Company and Group pages. If you are interested in getting involved in hosting either a one-off or a regular in-person meet up then please contact chair@iaf-englandwales.org.
