17 & 18 NOVEMBER
"From Isolation to Inclusion: A Global Leadership Congress"
The Global Meeting Point for Modern Education
Building on the momentum of Almaty 2025, IFIP brings its 140-country network to Sydney. We focus on the "20% imperative"—the one in five learners currently excluded by systemic barriers.
This Congress dismantles education silos, bringing University Provosts, School Leaders, and National Policymakers to the same table to align high-level strategy with the practical reality of the learner.
"The systems that succeed in the modern world are those that maximise the potential of every learner. We are building the capability of the international education workforce."
— Daniel Sobel, Founder of IFIP
A Global Stage:
Notre Dame Sydney
Hosted at the University of Notre Dame Australia, our "Borderless Campus" venue blends heritage architecture with modern facilities in the heart of Sydney's historic district.
