Convening without strategy frustrates people—even those who understand that transformation is a complicated process. IRCT uses large- and small-scale meetings to bring together key actors for any given issue area with the goal of encouraging collaboration for progress. If a proposed convening lacks direction, IRCT will neither participate nor host. A secondary goal of our convening work is to document key learning to share with a wider field. Much of our convening is conducted under the auspices and support of a requesting institution such as a foundation, local or regional public sector organization, or civil society group.
