Our Impact Since 2019
Our Story
From humble beginnings to a thriving community of learners and changemakers
How It All Began
In 2019, a group of young professionals in Sulaymaniyah recognized a gap in the local community - there were limited platforms for meaningful knowledge exchange and professional development. Driven by a shared passion for learning and community building, they came together to establish iTalk.
What started as informal gatherings in coffee shops has grown into a recognized organization that has impacted thousands of lives through conferences, seminars, and workshops. Our journey reflects our commitment to creating spaces where diverse voices can be heard and valuable connections can be made.
Today & Tomorrow
Today, iTalk stands as a beacon of knowledge sharing and community development in Sulaymaniyah and beyond. We continue to evolve, embracing new technologies and methodologies to serve our growing community better. Our commitment remains unchanged: to create meaningful opportunities for learning, connection, and positive impact.
