Conference Theme

Ignite change and help shape the future of volunteering! Every year, hundreds of IVCO attendees take in insightful sessions, dive into engaging workshops with peers and forge meaningful connections with practitioners and researchers working in volunteering and development spaces.

IVCO 2024 will tackle questions related to the roles of volunteers in an increasingly unequal world, one characterised by division and crisis. Through interactive sessions and peer-to-peer learning, we will challenge the idea of failure as something inherently negative and take steps on a journey of collective action towards volunteering for solidarity. 

The conference will celebrate and explore how volunteering can create connections, challenge the status quo and enable meaningful, lasting social change in an ever-changing world. We’ll see you there!
