Olivier Malafronte, PhD"AI Coaching: What Coaches Need to Know" He built one of the world's first AI coaching agents in 2016 and co-authored ICF Global's AI Coaching Standards. This is not a tech talk. It is a grounded, science-backed conversation about what AI can and cannot do, so you lead from knowledge rather than anxiety. |
Indy Batth, MA, PCC"Beyond Cultural Intelligence: The Systems Mindset Continuum" An interactive, embodied session. Through a six-stage continuum you will move from cultural awareness into a deeper understanding of power and systems. You will feel this one as much as you think it. |
World Café roundtables
AI in your practice, for real: How are coaches actually using and implementing AI? In prep, in business, with clients, and where are the ethical lines? Bring your questions. Leave with ideas you can use Monday morning.

A note from our President
"I have spent this fall in coffee conversations with coaches across this chapter, and one thing is clear: this community is at its best when we are in the room together. Whether you have been a member for twenty years or you joined this spring, there is a seat for you on November 15. I hope you will take it."
— Jonathan Evans, President, ICF British Columbia Charter Chapter

Good questions
I can only stay part of the afternoon. Is it still worth it?
Yes. Come for what you can. The keynote, the roundtables, the AGM, and Indy's session each stand on their own, and online attendance makes joining for part of the day easy.
I'm not a member. Am I welcome?
Absolutely. Non-members register at the non-member rate, and coaches curious about the chapter are especially welcome. This is the best day of the year to meet us.
What if I can't attend the AGM?
Register for the conference and watch for the proxy form in your inbox, so your vote still counts at the AGM.
Can I register at the door?
In-person attendees may register at the venue, but seating is limited and advance registration guarantees your seat and helps us plan refreshments.
Where exactly?
UBC Robson Square, 800 Robson Street, Vancouver. Online attendees receive join information before the event.
The room is better with you in it.
