Overview

The 2011 ICF Annual International Conference will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, from September 24-27. Make plans to join your global coaching peers for this premier adult learning and networking event. 

At this year's event, we'll be Playing to the Edge! The global ICF Education Steering Committee is busy finalizing educational sessions that will bring you fresh new ideas and concepts to apply to your coaching.

The Committee used this year's host city as inspiration when coming up with the concept Playing to the Edge. According to Lynn Meinke, PCC, Conference Education Steering Committee Chair, the theme is about risk, fun, and ultimately about taking coaching to the "edge."

"How do we as coaches play to the edge?" asks Lynn. "How do we stretch ourselves and how do we stretch our clients to play to the edge?"

Information on speakers, sessions, and more will be added to this site as confirmed. For an idea of what to expect, visit the Education Overview section here.
