Community FAQ
What Do You Do?
The ICFP 2025 Communications Subcommittee works closely with the ICFP communications team to promote the ICFP community, movement, and platform. The subcommittee supports strategic outreach around the ICFP conference, helping amplify key messages, drive engagement, and elevate the full range of ICFP 2025 offerings year-round.
ICFP is putting into action the vision set forth at its inception: to become a community-driven platform.
As ICFP (and the world) moves towards the production of more virtual and hybrid events, we have taken this opportunity to think creatively about ways to engage and bridge our non-traditional audiences, media, and press.
Who is Involved?
ICFP is fortunate enough to have the support and expertise of a wide range of leaders, advocates, young people, and artists to keep family planning at the center of the conversation on health and rights.
This year, ICFP refined its approach to engaging with high-profile figures across the global family planning community and the global health community as a whole. Through coordination with existing partners and a comprehensive landscape assessment of the family planning field, ICFP curated a detailed list of influencers to connect with on key family planning messaging.

About the ICFP Communications & Media Subcommittee

Meet the Family Planning News Network
The Family Planning News Network fills a niche void in the global health community – ongoing digital media advocacy and influencer content creation focused on family planning and gender equity issues – through the International Conference on Family Planning platform (ICFP).
As ICFP has transformed from a biannual conference to a dynamic movement, platform, and community, FPNN has emerged as its sister platform for digital media, media advocacy, youth capacity strengthening, and media fellowships in the FP community.
