We've put together a collection of brochures, flyers & posters that you can use to advertise IGA whenever you attend a conference or other event where you think IGA should be represented.

We have included several versions. Please feel free to adapt them to the conference and/or language of the host country.  If you don't see what you need, or if need help with anything, don't hesitate to contact me. 

Good luck and thanks for your help!
