The 5th GSAEC International Conference
From Roots to Horizons: The Next Era in Coaching Education
July 15–17, 2026 | Washington, DC
Convened by the Graduate School Alliance for Education in Coaching (GSAEC)
Hosted by The George Washington University One Humanity Lab
Conference Agenda
A better way to gather
Too many conferences still look the same: two days of being talked at and stage time that feels more like marketing than meaning. We’re ready for something better. We’re designing a gathering built around genuine dialogue — where subject-matter experts and passionate coaching educators learn with each other, not just sit through presentations together. We’re putting the “confer” back in conference… you might even call it an un-conference. Curious? Explore what we’re building and join us in elevating the conversation around coaching education.
