While most of our professional development opportunities are hosted online, we deeply value the energy and connection that happen when coaches gather in person. In addition to our virtual programming, the ICF Gulf Coast Chapter periodically hosts an in-person conference at a standout location within our service area -- creating space for shared learning, community building, and lasting professional relationships.
Past conferences have brought members together in Tuscaloosa, Mobile, Jackson, and New Orleans (2019 and 2020), with our most recent event held in beautiful Gulf Shores in 2023.
Conference scheduling is guided by community interest, availability, and member involvement -- and that's where you come in.
