iForum: Ukrainian forum of IT-specialists

iForum is Ukraine’s largest offline conference of businessmen in the field of IT industry, primarily related to the development of the Internet.

The forum of Internet professionals began in 2009, when a group of enthusiasts managed to bring together over a thousand people. Every year the number of participants increases.

Conference format

Within the framework of iForum, traditional speeches of speakers are held, exhibitions and additional events of relevant topics are organized. The format of the event involves direct live communication of the conference participants, including a cup of coffee.

The reports are divided into four main streams, under each of which there is a separate, extensive conference room. Another fifth stream is expected in the form of chamber discussions in smaller rooms, which take place simultaneously with the main ones. Forum participants can move between rooms to listen to various reports on topics of interest.

IForum program and directions

The conference program is composed by the Organizing Committee, which includes experts in all the presented areas of Internet activity. They select the most relevant questions for the participants and divide them into streams.
