Each year the CIÉF organizes a conference in a Francophone region of the world, bringing together 300 to 600 participants: writers, scholars, critics, and journalists from every Francophone country and region in the world. In addition to approximately one hundred interdisciplinary panels, the convention welcomes many Francophone writers (37 at the 2004 convention in Liège, for example) and organizes literary readings, meetings, and round tables with writers and artists. The convention also offers receptions sponsored by diplomatic delegations, local universities, and municipalities. Several excursions are organized during each convention. A local bookseller is also present at each convention, offering a large choice of publications in Francophone studies as well as books by authors who are present at the convention and books discussed during convention panels.

The CIÉF has held its convention in Guadeloupe, Montreal, New Orleans, Fort de France, Tucson, Strasbourg, Casablanca, Québec, Charleston, Toulouse, Lafayette in Louisiana, Portland, Abidjan, Liège in Belgium, Ottawa-Gatineau, Sinaïa in Romania, and Cayenne in French Guyana. The 2008 convention will take place in Limoges, France.
Papers must be presented in French
