2026 Conference The countdown has begun!

In less than 6 weeks, we’ll be gathering for the Conference!

On October 27 and 28, we’ll be gathering at the University of Sherbrooke’s Longueuil Campus, located at 150 Place Charles-Le Moyne in Longueuil.

Under the theme “Coaching: A Source of Stability in the Midst of Turmoil,” the Conference invites us to return to the essentials by exploring resilience, balance, and adaptability in our practice. Together, we will celebrate the power of the human spirit and collective intelligence to foster engagement and the common good, and we will explore the future of coaching in close connection with science, technological advancements, and societal changes, in order to enrich our practice and increase our impact.

If you haven’t registered yet, there isn’t much time left to do so. More than 175 attendees have already marked the dates on their calendars!
