International Conference on Coaching Supervision 2026

Supervision: Discipline and flexibility

Two people talking

The 14th International Conference on Coaching supervision will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, in Oxford, UK. We will be continuing a hybrid approach to previous conferences, allowing presenters and attendees alike to participate either in person or online.

Last year's theme was ‘Supervision - its core and its edges', inviting presenters and attendees to examine the essence and boundaries of supervision. David Lane set the scene in our keynote session exploring how ethical dilemmas in supervision might point to the core and the edges of our practice. In the afternoon plenary Sarah Tennyson and Alison Maxwell explored the theme in relation to the concept of professionalism.

The theme for 2026 invites the community to explore further the interplay of practice, professionalism and professional identity; how they manifest and how they might affect each other. We intend this theme as a broad invitation within which we welcome proposers’ own interpretations.

Please note that in the interests of encouraging open dialogue during the event, sessions are not recorded.
