One of our most widely recognized activities is the World Congress of Podiatry, which occurs every three years. In addition to attracting attention around the world, the congress provides the opportunity for colleagues in the podiatry profession to meet one another and expand on their training and knowledge about foot-related matters.

Hosting the World Congress of Podiatry is a joint initiative between the FIP and a member country. To assist member organizations wishing to host a FIP World Congress of Podiatry, the FIP Board and Secretariat have produced a World Congress policy document (PDF) that provides general guidelines and protocols for the World Congress and events directly associated with it. The policy document is available for download.
