Social events Paris 2023
Social event programme
The social programme is an important element of the IBA Annual Conference allowing you to meet delegates sharing the same interests in practice or from regions where you have business interests.
The social programme will also provide you with opportunities to take in the sights and sounds of Paris.
During the week there will be approximately 100 dinners, receptions and gatherings in some of the most interesting venues across the city. Apart from the opportunity to meet and connect with other delegates, they will allow you to visit some fantastic locations in Paris.
The social programme can be found via the programme search and the social events can be booked either during the conference registration journey or separately after registration by navigating to manage conference in your my iba account.

Dietary requirements
To ensure your safety at an IBA social event, we ask you to indicate any dietary restrictions, intolerances or food allergies you may have on the conference registration form. This is to ensure that the food provided for you at an IBA event, where there is a plated meal, is safe for you to consume.
By disclosing this information, you agree to the IBA sharing this information with relevant third parties who are providing catering on our behalf.
If you have requested a specific meal, which must be provided by a third-party supplier, we will track to ensure delegates have received and consumed their requested meal.
Please note that the food provided at the Welcome Party, general delegate lunches and Closing Party is buffet style with options to cover a wide variety of dietary requirements, therefore we do not offer alternative individual dietary options at these events.
Any dietary requirements submitted to us after Friday 13 October cannot be guaranteed.
