Join us for a meaningful two-day gathering as ICF Connecticut hosts its first-ever conference—a milestone moment designed to both support today’s coaching practice and strengthen what comes next.
This inaugural experience invites coaches to pause, reflect, connect, and intentionally design a practice that grows with them—professionally, personally, and sustainably.
We begin on Thursday evening with an energizing and playful improv-based experience designed to help coaches loosen up, connect authentically, and spark creativity. This session sets the tone for the conference—relational, human, and community-centered.
Following the workshop, attendees are invited to acasual networking reception, offering space to reconnect with colleagues, meet new coaching peers, and begin building meaningful relationships before the full conference day.
Friday’s full-day conference is intentionally designed as a Support to Strengthen experience—grounding coaches in what sustains effective coaching today while preparing them for the future of the profession.
Morning sessions center on strengthening the foundation of coaching practice through three core lenses:

-
Supporting Our Colleagues

-

In the afternoon, the focus shifts toward growth, innovation, and what’s next:
