Coaching Ethics Forum 2026: Ethics in Practice – Courage, Choice, and Change
Paris, France – November 2025 —
The Coaching Ethics Forum 2026 (CEF2026) will take place on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 February 2026, gathering professionals, educators, and thought leaders from around the world for two days of dialogue and applied learning. Held virtually, the 2026 Forum turns its attention to ethics in practice — exploring the real-life challenges, choices, and courage that define professional life.
Building on the reflective and cross-cultural depth of CEF 2025, which explored philosophical and Indigenous perspectives on ethical maturity, CEF 2026 moves from reflection to application. This year’s Forum will focus on what it means to live ethics in motion — where everyday decisions shape culture, community, and change.
“Ethics lives and breathes in practice — in the questions we ask, the decisions we make, and the courage it takes to stay with uncertainty,” said Wendy-Ann Smith, Founder of Ethics Forum International and Chair of the Coaching Ethics Forum. “The 2026 Forum invites us to move beyond reflection and into action — to explore together what ethical maturity looks like in our daily professional choices.”
Across two immersive days of keynotes, dialogues, and workshops, participants will engage with emerging frontiers such as artificial intelligence, mentoring, coaching, and supervision, alongside enduring dilemmas of integrity, influence, and responsibility. This is a Forum designed for those who want to apply ethical insight to real contexts and deepen their confidence in navigating complexity.
The Coaching Ethics Forum continues to serve as a global meeting place for practitioners and educators committed to responsibility, integrity, and courage in action. Through its annual conferences, reflective circles, and research collaborations, CEF provides a distinctive space to explore ethics not just as theory or compliance, but as lived, evolving practice.
