Change is reshaping every corner of the coaching landscape — from how we teach, research, and credential, to how we build inclusive, thriving learning environments.

At the 2026 GSAEC International Conference, we’ll explore how coaching education is evolving — and how we can shape what’s next. Join leading educators, researchers, and practitioners for three unforgettable days of dialogue, discovery, and co-creation.

From Roots to Horizons

Our roots ground us in the shared standards, values, and scholarship that define the coaching profession. Our horizons invite us to innovate, collaborate, and expand the reach of coaching education worldwide.

Together, we’ll bridge tradition and transformation — cultivating the next era in coach education.

July 15–17, 2026
