Young IFA Network
The Young IFA Network was established in 2005 to attract more members in the early stages of their careers. The YIN Committee was set up by the Executive Committee with the aim of developing, proposing and implementing programmes at IFA branch and global levels to make the IFA appealing to young members. The YIN was officially launched at the Amsterdam Congress in 2006 and, since then, many IFA branches have implemented YIN activities.
This IFA Congress will also host the special YIN events listed below. While these events are primarily intended to attract members aged 40 and under, all IFA members are more than welcome to attend. Join these events by filling in the relevant section of the registration form.
