Conference on Indonesian Foreign Policy (CIFP) is the annual flagship conference organized by Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) since 2015. CIFP serves as a dynamic convergence where foreign policy stakeholders from across Indonesia and the world come together for intellectually stimulating, inclusive, and inspiring discussions. Over the years, CIFP has earned recognition as “The World’s Largest Foreign Policy Conference,” drawing over 11,000 attendees.
Unlike any other, CIFP has been described as “a cross between a foreign policy conference and a rock concert,” reflecting how rare it is for a foreign policy conference to feature a festive, high-energy atmosphere attended by thousands, primarily young people. By merging grassroots youth enthusiasm with top-level international diplomacy, CIFP transforms foreign policy from an insular, government-only conversation into a dynamic, national civic experience. This year will be the 10th edition of CIFP.
Rooted in the spirit of grassroots engagement, the Conference on Indonesian Foreign Policy (CIFP) brings people from all walks of life together to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations on Indonesia’s foreign policy.
More than just panel discussions, CIFP is an immersive civic experience. From town halls and business forums to gameshows, booths and exhibitions, and diplomacy clinics, CIFP offers a diverse range of activities that bring people together to exchange ideas, engage in dialogue, and discover new perspectives on Indonesia’s foreign policy.
