About
Global Coach Conference (GCC)
Every two years, the International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE) brings together coaches, coach developers, researchers, sport scientists, technical directors and sport administrators to address issues in coaching, to learn about new coaching research, and to share experiences with the top coaching development experts in the world.
The 14th GCC will be in Singapore from 29th November to 3rd December, 2023 with the theme; "Coaching for a Better Tomorrow”.
The main focus will continue to be on effective coaching practice, coach learning and development, coaching policy and systems, and inclusivity but with a view of preparing coaches better for a future that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, and technologically advanced.
