International Conference on Coaching Supervision 2027

The 15th International Conference on Coaching supervision will be held on Thursday, May 13 2027, 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: Discipline and Flexibility', inviting the community to explore further the interplay of practice, professionalism and professional identity; how they manifest and how they might affect each other. Sean O'Connor set the scene in our keynote session exploring "Systemically integrated coaching supervision: Developing coaches through complexity in the age of AI". Topics in other sessions included narrative approaches, supervision of dual trained practitioners, how coaches develop purpose, AI and adult development, working with the self, professional identity, arts-based supervision.

The theme for 2027 invites the community to consider the interdisciplinarity of coaching supervision.  Some people might see supervision as a mix of psychology and business. But where does that leave topics such as ethics and social action? As ever, 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.
