The Global Forum on Incontinence (GFI) is a platform for education and debate around continence care. The aim is to improve the health and social care provisions for incontinence, giving patients and care givers a better quality of life. 

GFI demonstrate the impact of incontinence on the individual and their caregivers and on society as a whole. Continence care is approached from a holistic perspective. The ambition is to present and discuss both prevention, cure and care options and organization and management aspects.

GFI conferences are held every second year.
