A World in Motion – Taking the discussion and learnings about

International Developments to the next level

The Washington International Association Forum is a central hub for American-based associations with international members and international associations headquartered in North America. It provides a unique platform for association professionals and thought leaders, Non-Profits, Federations, Foundations, Societies, NGOs, AMCs, and international Meeting Planners to share insights and establish meaningful connections.

For associations, by associations. WIAF’s core mission is to foster knowledge transfer, peer-to-peer exchange, best practices sharing, and collaborative initiatives to address common challenges and achieve greater global impact. This year's theme builds on the previous edition, “A World in Motion – Taking the discussion and learnings about International Developments to the next level.”

Washington D.C., much like Brussels and Geneva, is an institutional, political and advocacy hub and a central location for international diplomacy, innovation and professional expertise. The city’s unique ecosystem of public, private, non-profit, academic and political players provides a fertile ground for fostering an impactful dialogue and expertise sharing. Building and extending the community amongst international and North-American associations and non-profit organizations is one of the essence of WIAF. 

The WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FORUM (WIAF) is part of ASSOCIATIONWORLD’s family, which also includes the BRUSSELS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FORUM (BIAF), the GENEVA INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FORUM (GIAF), both global association hubs, and of the IRISH ASSOCIATION FORUM (IAF).

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

WIAF is accessible to all type of Associations, Federations, Federations, Societies, NGOs and Non-Profits (from C-level to junior level professionals), AMC's and international Meeting Planners.
