IFCON

An annual gathering tradition for Asians & Friends.

IFCON is connected to a broader Asians & Friends network: community travel, chosen family, cultural exchange, and intercity friendship.

What it is

Not a corporate conference. A community weekend.

For many AFW members, the annual Asians & Friends gathering tradition has been a way to know people from other cities, deepen friendships, and feel part of something larger than one local chapter.

Think shared meals, hosted moments, local culture, reunion energy, and the kind of travel where the destination matters because the people do.

What's special about IFCON

A wider map of belonging.

Chosen family beyond one city

IFCON offers a way to meet people who understand the specific joy and complexity of queer Asian community.

Cultural exchange without performance

Meals, stories, local traditions, and informal time together become the heart of the experience.

A living network

Members can find peers, travel friends, and a sense that this community has roots.
