Celebrating 30 Years of Impact

This year, we celebrate a remarkable milestone: 30 years of ICF as the global leader in professional coaching. To mark this special occasion, we’re bringing Converge 2025 to California — the place where our journey first began.

In 1995, ICF was founded in California with a bold and inclusive vision: to unite coaches across continents, elevate the standards of our profession, and demonstrate the transformative power of coaching around the world. Today, our community spans more than 180 countries, and our collective impact continues to grow globally.

As we honor our origins, we also celebrate how far we’ve come and reaffirm our shared commitment to shaping the future of coaching — together, worldwide.

Special anniversary celebrations will be woven throughout Converge 25 — stay tuned for details on how we’ll honor this milestone together!
