IFI GAP will culminate with the IFI GAP Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, held in conjunction with the IFI CONGRESS in November 2021 in São Paulo, Brazil. With concern for everyone’s health and safety, and understanding the yet unknown capacity for travel in November, the IFI CONGRESS and IFI GAP Awards Ceremony are being planned in a hybrid format. We are taking this opportunity to expand the program and make it more accessible through both digital and in-person components, providing the potential for multi-location, multi-time zone programs.
