Mathematica is proud to join with our partners for a series of sessions and side events at the International Conference of Family Planning (ICFP), which runs from November 14–17 in Pattaya City, Thailand. First staged in 2009, ICFP is the world’s largest convening on reproductive health, providing a critical platform for the global development community to come together to share knowledge, celebrate successes, and advance progress toward universal access to family planning. For the first time, this year’s conference offers in-person and virtual participation, making it the most inclusive and largest ICFP to date. We encourage you to follow along on social media using #ICFP2022.
Mathematica sessions will highlight new evidence, methodological approaches, and implementation insights emerging from a range of work conducted with foundation, research, implementation, and government partners.
Key Mathematica sessions include the following:
