Welcome to ifCON 2025
We have some exciting pre-cruise events lined up to get to know you and make sure you have an amazing
time from the moment you check into the pre-cruise hotel until we set sail on the Valiant Lady. The big
party is happening on Tuesday, September 2nd at Hunters in Wilton Manor. We’ll share the on-ship
schedule separately, but it’s a good idea to check both so you have a clear idea of what’s in store before
we set sail.
