For Facilitators, the theme "Feel, Facilitate, Flourish - From Intent to Impact" is a call to action to be deeply human, highly skilled and profoundly impactful in their work, driving genuine and lasting change within individuals, groups, and the broader community.

Past IAF conferences have catered to around 175 to 200 participants who have participated from different cities across India and abroad.

The conference title signifies a powerful and comprehensive articulation of the journey of effective facilitation.

Feel
Emphasizes the importance of empathy, awareness, and connection. It is about genuinely experiencing the context before attempting to facilitate.

Facilitate
Highlights the role of the facilitator in guiding processes, enabling dialogue, and fostering collaboration, applying IAF core competencies, facilitative processes, and methods to help individuals and groups navigate complexities, explore ideas, make decisions, and move towards flourishing.

Flourish
Represents the desired outcome, a state of growth, well-being and sustained positive change. It signifies not just achieving a goal, but doing so in a way that creates lasting value and impact.

From Intent to Impact
This phrase weaves the entire theme together, and emphasizes that effective facilitation is not just about having good intentions - it is about systematically working to translate intentions into meaningful, desired outcomes.

The central figure: The person with raised arms in the center of the logo represents the individual feeling and experiencing the conference's content. Their open posture suggests a readiness to receive knowledge, connect with others, and embrace new ideas. This figure is the starting point, representing the "Intent" to engage and learn.

The expanding arches: The colored concentric arches around the central figure represent the process of facilitation and growth. They are expanding outward, symbolizing the broadening of an individual's perspective, knowledge, and network. This dynamic, outward movement illustrates how facilitators and the conference environment support participants in moving from their initial intent toward a broader, more impactful outcome.

The overall motion: The combination of the central figure and the expanding arches creates a sense of flourishing. It visually represents a journey from a single point—the individual's initial intent—to a wider, more influential sphere of action and effect. This progression directly signifies the journey "From Intent to Impact," where the knowledge and connections gained are not static but are put into practice to create a positive effect. The use of vibrant colors further enhances the feeling of growth, energy, and positive transformation.
