IF Conference Focus
The purpose of the annual IF Conference is to create an intellectual platform for information practices, and to create an interdisciplinary conversation on the ever-changing role of technology mediated information on society.

It is intended as a place for critical engagement, examination and discussion of ideas that connect information to their contexts in the world – on research and development, in classrooms, in the arts, in libraries, on the streets and in communities.
