Breakout Track Themes
In addition to the plenary stage program, attendees of IRF Summit 2025 also get to take part in a number of exciting breakout sessions, each with their own theme. The four breakout tracks–Empower, Legislate, Advocate, and Activate–will run concurrently and are interspersed between other Summit functions, allowing participants to dive deep on their chosen area of interest.
Empower
The Empower track will facilitate a number of specialized training workshops designed to build the capacity of participating attendees and organizations. The intention of this track is to help the IRF community operate more effectively and build resilience in their organizations and the communities that they represent.
Legislate
The Legislate track will address critical laws and legal actions around the world. Whether a positive law that should be encouraged by the IRF community or a harmful one that should be rejected, increased awareness of these laws and collective action around them are key to actualizing the goals of the IRF movement.
Advocate
The Advocate track focuses on strategies to advance and protect the movement for international religious freedom. A crucial element of this strategy includes advocating for those working in hostile environments or facing the threat of transnational repression. This track will consider other key areas for advocacy as well, including for prisoners of conscience.
Activate
The Activate track seeks to help participants learn from best practices discovered over years of work in the IRF space. This track will consider topics such as leveraging tools like targeted sanctions, navigating the asylum process, and understanding the role of businesses in promoting religious freedom within their supply chains.
