Geneva International Assocation Forum (GIAF)
Hilton Geneva Hotel & Conference Centre, Switzerland
12:30 - 15:30
4th edition of the
GENEVA INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FORUM (GIAF)
Gathering representatives of international and European Associations, Non-Profits, Federations, Societies, NGOs and Universities, GIAF aims at establishing an international leading platform and knowledge sharing event in one of the world’s flagship host destinations for professional associations and non-profit organizations.
GIAF’s primary mission is to bring together the Geneva-based and international / European associations and non-profit organizations to provide knowledge transfer, to enable peer-to-peer exchange, to share best practices and to design joint initiatives to tackle common challenges, to help achieve better results and greater impact.
Geneva is an institutional and scientific hub and a central location for international diplomacy, scientific research and innovation and professional expertise gathering. The city’s unique ecosystem of public, private, non-profit and academic players provides a fertile ground for fostering an impactful dialogue and expertise sharing. Building a community amongst Geneva-based international and European associations and non-profit organizations is one of the essence of GIAF.
At GIAF, we discuss the ,how to’ and bring the discussion on developments to the next level.
Who should attend?
GIAF is accessible to all type of Associations, Federations, Societies and NGOs at all levels (C-level to junior association professionals), GIAF partners and supporters.
