Inspiring Change Through Coaching, Together

Coaching thrives on connection — and ICF Converge Summit 2026 is your opportunity to experience that connection first-hand.

Join us in Paris for an immersive two-day gathering where coaches from around Europe and beyond will come together to learn, grow and inspire one another. Through interactive sessions, intimate group discussions and purposeful networking, you’ll connect with likeminded peers, gain fresh perspectives and take away ideas you can put into practice.

As ICF’s newest event, Converge Summit 26 creates space for the global coaching community to connect in a more personal setting. Come prepared to exchange ideas, forge lasting connections and gain practical insights you can put to the test in your own practice.

Together, we’ll explore four key themes shaping the future of coaching:

• Supporting the coaching community.
• The business of coaching.
• Coaching unique populations.
• Coaching in organisations.

You’ll leave feeling energised, inspired and reminded of just how much we can achieve — together.

We can’t wait to welcome you in Paris.

No matter where you are in your coaching journey, this regional program offers fresh insights and hands-on support, all within a collaborative space where ideas grow through shared dialogue, real-time exploration and meaningful connection with peers who understand your local landscape. Expect:

• Interactive learning – Hands-on workshops, small-group dialogues and opportunities to take part in practical exercises.
• Focused content – A curated programme to help you personalise your experience to your own goals.
• Purposeful networking – Informal opportunities to meet peers and mentors to share and build relationships that continue long after the event ends.

Why Attend?

At ICF Converge Summit 2026, you’ll have the chance to practice, engage and grow through immersive learning. Every session, conversation and shared moment is designed to help you strengthen your coaching practice and broaden your perspective.

For many, it’s also a rare chance to take a step back from the day-to-day and reconnect with the bigger picture — the purpose that brought them to coaching in the first place.
