Connection sits at the heart of the ICF Converge Summit experience.
At times, coaching can feel like a solo journey. At Summit, you’ll join a global community of peers ready to share ideas, spark inspiration and build relationships that last long after the event ends.
Whether you’re meeting for the first time or reconnecting with peers, Converge Summit offers dedicated spaces and facilitated opportunities to make meaningful connections. With an agenda that includes roundtable discussions and breakout sessions, as well as plenty of structured networking opportunities and the chance to catch up over a coffee, every interaction is designed to help you grow both personally and professionally.
From informal coffee breaks to pre-arranging meet ups with other attendees, there are several ways to engage and connect with peers over the course of the event.
Braindates are user-generated and topic-driven conversations booked amongst participants. Arrange one-on-one or small group meetings through the ICF Converge Summit app and get ready to share knowledge, seek advice or discuss topics you’re passionate about in an open, supportive environment.
Keynote Reflection Breaks are a signature feature of Converge Summit, designed to transform inspiration into meaningful dialogue and actionable insights. Immediately following each keynote, attendees are invited to join small, facilitated reflection groups - either by signing up in advance or opting in during the event. These breaks are intentionally scheduled to give participants time and space to process what they’ve heard, share personal takeaways and explore how new ideas might influence their coaching practice or professional journey.
