Interested in presenting to our chapter?
ICF-CT strives to be a diverse and inclusive professional community, supporting the evolving coaching profession. ICF-CT is seeking speakers who can provide interactive presentations relevant and interesting to professional coaches, organizational practitioners, strategic partners, coaches in training and individuals considering a career in coaching. We are interested in experienced, knowledgeable, organized and charismatic speakers to present and engage audiences.
This season, we are inviting presenters in two categories: Chapter programming and special events (e.g., wellness event, conference, or tool share).
ICF-CT Chapter Guidelines for Presenters
ICF-CT aims to secure presenters and programs that support the ICF Core Competencies and uphold the Ethical Standards of ICF. We offer a variety of professional development and educational opportunities dedicated to advancing the art, science, and practice of professional coaching.
We value presenters who are adept at presenting to learners with a wide range of experience and who can expand our thinking and skills through their work. We seek informative, skill-building presentations rather than those focused on self-promotion or sales pitches.
Below are three exciting presenter opportunities:

This highly interactive evening will feature round-robin stations, where participants rotate through small-group conversations led by expert members certified in a variety of well-regarded tools.
Presenters will share:
-
How they use a specific tool or framework
-
When and why it’s effective
-
