IFF 2026 takes place from early evening on Monday 7 September until late night on Wednesday 9 September.

IFF takes place at Outernet London and its surrounding venues (Charing Cross Rd, London WC2H 8LH).

Just as when it started, we want IFF to be as focussed for agents and festival bookers as possible. We want to help great festivals and great agents to meet and do business.

Around one month before IFF, we launch an online Networking Scheme which allows all delegates to access contact information of others, get in touch and arrange meetings. If you’re registered, you’ll automatically receive login details to access the scheme.

On arrival at IFF you’ll also receive a Conference Guide which contains delegate contact information. We find offering someone a drink at the bar tops all the above though.

Check out the accommodation page here which includes plenty of discounted hotel rooms that we’ve secured for delegates.

We love dogs. Like, we reeeeeally love dogs. But sadly they can’t come. Their ears are too sensitive for the loud music, and they never buy a round…

No. IFF is dedicated to a harassment-free experience for everyone and we don’t tolerate harassment or unacceptable behaviour in any form.

Delegates or any other participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from IFF. Our anti-harassment policy is here.
