Schedule & Program

NEW The IFF Community Platform
Based on the open source software Frab, the IFF Community Platform has been carefully designed to respond to the needs of human rights defenders events. Keeping the open source spirit, the IFF Community Platform is up on GitHub for all event organizers to download and make use of, and also to allow for contributions from developers and designers.

Featured Events

The NEW IFF Community Health Series!!

Last year, our community spoke and we heard - more needed to be invested in the well-being of both the community and the individuals that are part of it. We are thus please to announce the IFF Community Health Series lead by the glittertastic IFF Community Health Lead, Maryam Al-Khawaja. We encourage you to be part of the following conversations that will place at the IFF that are an important part to continuing creating a strong and vibrant community.


The IFF Expo

This year an expo area will be featured throughout the day in the large patio. Various organizations and projects have signed up for two hour slots to present their work, including:

  • Medicine for Venezuela

For every medication donated for Venezuela, individuals will receive the latest album of the EuroVenezuelan punk band, “ZombiesNO” and/or a Humano Derecho Records t-shirt. All medicines are needed, but stop by if you need help figuring out what to donate, stop by and chat with them during these times:

  • Monday, 14:00 to 18:00
  • Tuesday, 14:00 to 16:00
  • Wednesday, 14:00 to 16:00
