Dear Friend of DKT,
DKT International is excited to return to the 2022 International Conference on Family Planning, taking place from November 14-17 in Pattaya City, Thailand. You can find the DKT team throughout the week on a myriad of diverse and exciting panels, featured in poster sessions, and bringing the fun (as only DKT can) hosting social events on and off-site. We look forward to discussing our tricks of the trade and sharing knowledge on how we boldly push boundaries in the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) space to make global health care more affordable and accessible.
DKT International will be joined at ICFP by our affiliates, DKT WomanCare (Booth 78); Women First Digital (Booth 74); World Vasectomy Day (WVD) (Booth 77); and DKT Myanmar (Booth 75), all of whom have exciting plans in store for the big event.

The memory and influence of our founder Phil Harvey will be foremost in our minds at ICFP, as Phil’s legacy lives on through the Phil Harvey Innovation Award. The purpose of this award is to recognize and encourage emerging SRH leaders to explore bold, sex-positive, and rights-based approaches that leverage the private sector (as Phil did throughout his career). The award comes with up to $10,000 USD. The three winners are also funded to attend ICFP and will accept their award on stage from Chris Purdy, DKT International president and CEO, on Tuesday, November 15 during the Red Carpet Evening Among the Stars Celebration. | |

Don’t forget to meet up with us throughout the day, everyday, at Coffee & Condoms, a DKT-sponsored event in the Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH). Come in for a coffee or tea and walk away with free condom samples, featuring brands from around the world. If you’re looking for an extra dose of all things coffee, you may even leave with a coffee-flavored condom. | |
