The 2025 festival will take place in Perugia from Wednesday 9 to Sunday 13 April.
The English-language part of the festival programme will be concentrated on Thursday 10, Friday 11 and Saturday 12 April. On Sunday 13 April there will be only Italian-language sessions.
As in previous years, all festival sessions will be free entry for all attendees, without tickets and without the need for registration. All festival sessions (with the exception of the one-to-one clinics) will be live-streamed with the on-demand video available immediately afterwards.
If you wish to propose a session (panel discussion, presentation, workshop, interview, other) for inclusion in the #ijf25 programme, kindly fill in and send this form. The deadline for receipt of proposals is 31 December 2024. If your proposal is accepted, you will be informed by 10 January 2025.
Regarding #ijf25 venues, average capacity will be significantly higher than at #ijf24. We have added three bigger venues – and eliminated the smaller venues – in order to avoid a repetition of the #ijf24 problem of some attendees being unable to follow some sessions in person. Our objective is to guarantee that all attendees can get into any session they choose.
Side events – aperitivi, meet-ups, other – have become increasingly popular over the past two years. For reference, here’s the #ijf24 side events programme. If you wish to propose an event for inclusion in the #ijf25 side events programme, write to Chris. There is no deadline, but due to high demand for suitable venues the sooner such proposals are made the better.
The bus transfer service for festival attendees from Rome Fiumicino airport to Perugia (and from Perugia to Rome Fiumicino airport) will be available again at #ijf25. Details – including departure times and ticket prices – will be provided on the festival website in January.
We look forward to welcoming the festival community back to Perugia in April.
Arianna and Chris
