35TH ANNUAL SPEECH & DEBATE TOURNAMENT AND CONFERENCE
Incheon, South Korea – MARCH 8-9, 2025
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite your students and coaches to join us in Incheon on March 8-9, 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 hosted at the University of Utah Asia Campus.
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 Inchon ($204 for double occupancy including breakfast) will help your program participate.
Should you have any questions regarding the registration process, please consult the instructions attached or contact the tournament director, Dr. Jeannie Hunt, about tournament-related issues or Treasurer, Sarah Hinkle, about financial questions. We look forward to the prospect of seeing your team in Korea for the experience of a lifetime!
Regards,
Nicholas Butler, Ph.D.
