8th IPA Assembly
18–24 June 2023, Canada

The 8th IPA Assembly

“Listen! God of the Universe beckons… “

~ 8th IPA Assembly theme

The IPA Assembly is a periodical gathering of members of the International Presentation Association. The current IPA Assembly, the eighth, was held in St. John’s, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, from 18th to 24th June 2023. 

 

With the Spirit of Nano beckoning us, we gathered to strengthen bonds and deepen our commitment to act justly, conscious of the urgency of our times.

 

Our Assemblies provide a forum for IPA Members and Presentation People around the world to foster unity and enable collaboration to further the mission of the IPA.

8th IPA Assembly daily updates

During the week of the Assembly, from 18-24 June 2023, we gathered photographs, videos, stories and recordings from delegates and attendees each day.

 

These were compiled into daily updates, which are listed below in the small library. The Communications Team is most grateful to Brian O’Toole for keeping such detailed notes of proceedings.

 

However, because the Assembly is an internal IPA process, these documents are only available for Presentation People and are password protected.

The password is available from the IPA or from your IPA Justice Contact. It was also shared in internal communications and email updates about the Assembly.

 

Now that the Assembly is over, the team is busy compiling all of the documents, presentations and media into a full report. This will be shared at a later date.

8th Assembly Planning Team

Work began on planning the 8th Assembly some time ago, but the Covid 19 pandemic meant that we had to postpone it until 2023. Our team (below) has been busy for months, planning and preparing for the Assembly.

 

As IPA commences the 8th Assembly this week, our Justice Contacts around the world are continuing to link to the people on the ground who are responding to the priority action areas set forth at the 7th Assembly in 2017.

Sr Joy Peterson (IPA Director) Sr Anne Lane, Judith King (facilitators) Srs Sharon Fagan and Gabriel Moran (IPA Directors)
Sr Ann Marie Quinn (IPA Executive Director)
