Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite your students and coaches to join us in Incheon, South Korea on March 7-9, 2025, to compete in the International Forensics Association’s 35th Annual International Speech and Debate Tournament.
The tournament will be conducted in English and consist of team debates in National Parliamentary Debate Association and British Parliamentary format; individual debates in International Public Debate Association format; five interpretation of literature events, four platform speaking events, two limited preparation speaking events, two online events, and a nuance event designed to honor our host nation. All competition rounds will be co-hosted by the University of Utah-Asia Campus and George Mason University-Korea.
We know that the cost of airfare is often the reason programs are unable to attend, but we hope that by identifying the dates at an early juncture, keeping our fees low, and securing an affordable hotel contract at the Sheraton Grand Incheon ($204 for double occupancy including breakfast) will help your program participate.
Please reference our registration page https://forensicstournament.net/IFA/25 for the full invitation to the tournament and contact us with any questions you may have. We look forward to the prospect of seeing your team in Korea for the experience of a lifetime!
Kind Regards,
Nicholas Butler, Ph.D.
