The French Institute of Internal Auditors and Controllers (IFACI) will host its annual Conference on 24–25 November 2025 at the CNIT Paris La Défense, bringing together more than 700 professionals from the fields of internal audit, internal control, risk management, governance, and compliance.
This year’s theme, “Antifragile: Turning Risk into Strength”, invites participants to go beyond resilience and embrace antifragility – a concept introduced by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Antifragility is not only about resisting shocks, but also about growing, adapting, and improving through them.
Why attend?
The IFACI Conference is the flagship event for the French internal audit and risk community, featuring:
- Over 100 speakers and more than 50 sessions, including plenaries, masterclasses, partner sessions, and workshops.
- Insights from thought leaders in politics, economics, technology, sustainability, ethics, and AI.
- Best-in-class case studies and member experiences showcasing practical solutions and innovative approaches.
- Interactive soft skills sessions, addressing human behaviour, values, and leadership in uncertain times.
- Networking opportunities with peers and partners, both on-site and online.
Hybrid experience
Participants can join the conference in person at CNIT La Défense or remotely via livestream and replay, ensuring accessibility and interaction for everyone.
A European perspective
As a member of The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and of the ECIIA, IFACI connects French professionals with the broader European and international audit community. This event strengthens collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the profession’s ability to address complex and interconnected risks highlighted in the latest Risk in Focus 2025 report.
Join the movement towards antifragility
The IFACI Conference 2025 is not just an event—it is an invitation to rethink how organisations can transform uncertainty into a strategic lever. From executive committees to R&D centres, from industrial sites to audit teams, being antifragile means learning, adapting, and turning challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth.
