Panels
The IBFMC will have a dual theme: LIFE IMITATING ART…WHAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILTY? AND EXPANDING OUR IMPACT.

“There are many art forms that need to be united as we discover our true selves and tell our stories. We must begin producing works that impact lives in a more positive manner.” Darrell K. Henderson, IBFMC’s conference director.

These events will be first come first serve seating availability.
