IPEIA 2026
Back by popular demand, the Integrity Challenges Forum will be returning for the 2026 IPEIA Conference & Exhibition! Through round table and group discussions, the ICF will report on the outcome of the past years’ discussions and introduce new topics to determine what the next Task Force discussions will focus on over the following year. Bring your voice to IPEIA!
What is the Integrity Challenges Forum Task Force?
The ICF is a forum where industry identifies and develops solutions to industry wide challenges. Challenges encountered in one part of industry might also be an issue in other areas. The ICF asks industry to provide potential challenge topics for discussion by a wider audience during a group meeting at the annual IPEIA conference. Industry votes to determine which challenges are the highest priority and a Task Force (TF) is developed to find a solution.
ICF welcomes input from all IPEIA members during the annual conference and we actively recruit Task Force members from Industry Groups and IPEIA’s general membership. All TF members go through IPEIA’s onboarding process. The ICF annual meeting and TF’s member fall under IPEIA’s Programming umbrella where ICF TF updates are reported during regular meetings.
Previous ICF meetings have taken place over a multi-hour period at the annual conference. Part of the meeting is devoted to reporting on the outcome of the past years’ discussions and outcomes for that years’ topics of interest. New topics are introduced at the annual meeting. They are discussed in small groups and then the entire ICF votes on each topic to determine what the TF will discuss during the following year.
