24th IAF Asia Conference,

3-4 September 2025

Thematic Approach

The world is facing poli-crisis—from climate change, food-energy-water scarcities, poverty, inequality, polarization – to conflicts and wars.
What are we going to do about it? Are we going to sit still, let everything pass before our eyes? Can we shape our future together? What kind of future that we want our children and grandchildren to live?

Can we use facilitation to shape our future? To connect and flourish together with compassions?
We have hope, and we are the hope
Why not together, we create….

  • a space to give, not only to get
  • a space to deeply listen, not just talk
  • a space to feel and sense, not just think
  • a space where empathy and compassion are the norm
  • a space where we can have a deep and meaningful conversation with friends, contributing to each other’s learning, and collaboratively strengthening our capacity for navigating the complex world of today
  • a space where we can nurture and cultivate our hope

Facilitation For Hope

IAF Asia Conference 2025 is a conference designed with an experiential format in mind. It is a space where everyone will be experiencing a journey, not just attending a row of sessions.

Whatever roles you are – speakers, participants, committees, supporting teams – we will all connect, reflect and share our thoughts and feelings with each other; to seek the meaning, the truth and embody the learning. Together, we create a safe space to have a deep and meaningful conversation with friends.

Whatever fields you are coming from – public, private, or social – you are welcome to join the space. The challenges in the world today are too complex to be faced alone without co-creation.

This is the time where cultivating systems approach through cross-sector exchange of ideas is needed at most. Join the space where you can share your thoughts, expertise, tools and experiences to others; the space where you can also listen, reflect and learn from others too.

It is about coming together to learn and grow as a community, so together we can cultivate a deeper awareness of how we can shape a better world through facilitation.
