International Travel Information
IPF welcomes participants and delegations from around the world. If you are traveling to the United States from abroad, we encourage you to review entry requirements and make travel arrangements well in advance of the event.
Arrival & Airport Connections
International travelers connecting through a U.S. airport should allow sufficient time for immigration, customs processing, baggage collection, and any required security screening.
We recommend allowing at least 2–3 hours between connecting flights, particularly if you need to:
- Clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
- Collect and recheck checked baggage.
- Complete additional security screening before your connecting flight.
Processing times vary by airport, arrival volume, and individual travel circumstances. Confirm connection requirements with your airline when booking.
Visas & Entry Requirements
Depending on your country of citizenship, you may need a visa or authorization through the Visa Waiver Program to enter the United States.
Attendees are responsible for confirming applicable entry requirements and securing any necessary travel documentation before departure. We encourage international participants to begin this process early to allow sufficient time for visa processing and travel arrangements.
For official information on U.S. visitor visas and entry requirements, visit the U.S. Department of State .
