Past Congresses

Welcome to the IIC Congress Blog

Welcome to IIC's Blog for the 29th Biennial Congress. After our first online Congress in 2020, we are excited for another first in 2022: a Hybrid Congress, with delegates meeting in-person, in Wellington, and online all over the world.  As with past congresses, this blog will be updated daily with new summaries, opinions and images from the on-going congress sessions and lectures between 5-9 September.

Once again, we have a stellar team of Digital Engagement Volunteers who will not only be moderating the Q&A discussions for each session, but will also be writing daily blog posts. So if you aren't able to engage in the live session discussions, or want more insight into the talks and speakers, be sure to check out the IIC Congress Blog for daily updates!
