In 1988 a small informal gathering of Asians and Friends from Washington, DC and New York met. The next year, there was a reciprocal visit to New York. In 1990, members decided to invite other chapters to join. This simple gathering of friends has blossomed into an exciting international social and educational gathering. ifCON usually gathers over Labor Day weekend. Each year we post the upcoming event on this page.
