The International Public Policy Association (IPPA) is the world leading association in Public Policy. It was created in December 2014, after the unexpected success of the first International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP1, Grenoble), to hold bi-annual conferences that include panels, sessions, and plenaries with academic participants from around the world. To date, IPPA has organized 5 ICPP editions (ICPP2 Milan 2015, ICPP3 Singapore 2017, ICPP4 Montreal 2019, and a hybrid ICPP5 Barcelona 2021) and is getting ready to host the 6th in Toronto in June 2023. This app will allow attendees to navigate the conference sessions, receptions, venue, and updates during the conference.
