The IEFA produces a program of private Business Roundtable Meetings, whether in-person, virtual or hybrid, which run year-round and are independent of the annual conferences.
These meetings usually consist of around 25 individuals, primarily C-suite executives or government leaders from around the world. The exact format of the roundtable, from location, production, content and attendees, is tailored to each.

The IEFA has spent the past three decades building an extensive network of thought leaders including world leaders, C-suite executives and academics across a wide array of fields. The organization is known for its ability to foster connections and collaboration in order to address the world’s most pressing challenges, specifically tailoring its audiences to achieve this goal.
