The International Future Computing Association is a network of member companies and institutions that each play a part in what are, and will be, the ultimate tools and experiences that impact our daily lives using computer technology and media.
TIFCA’s mission is to lay down the groundwork and enhance the viability of enabling what’s next. We achieve this through influential membership meetings, stakeholder education, market-building events, special initiatives, and more.
TIFCA is comprised of three pillar groups that include the Alliance of Computing Technologists, the Immersive Technology Alliance, and the Alliance of Content Creators. It is purposely structured this way because even though each division has its own purpose and industry space, the pillars are interrelated in that each success helps drive the other.

The International Future Computing Summit now has well over thirty international speakers with more on the way!
We received word that the IFC Summit is of direct interest to independent studios, small businesses, and start-up companies, and they need a ticket option that is more in line with their available budgets.
We’re happy to oblige! There is now a special ticket option for these valued communities listed at $495 USD instead of the standard $995 USD. It is a full access ticket complete with conference meals and receptions. It’s important that ticket-holder ventures are not publishers and/or are not partially or fully owned by major companies or studios. IFC Summit reserves the right to verify ticket-holder eligibility after purchase.
Register now because this class of ticket is in limited supply and registration for the IFC Summit finishes on October 31, 2019.
