Why Present?

By presenting at an ISCA event, you will have the opportunity to meet other counselors around the world with similar interests, discuss your work, and learn and grow from people working on similar programs and research in international schools.

When you present at one of our events, you establish contacts with other counselors in the field and expand your professional network, development professional friendships which can be resources and contacts for future collaboration, consultation or employment. 

By presenting at ISCA you are not only strengthening our profession and helping counselors develop comprehensive counseling programs, you are serving the students of those counselors. Your presentation has the potential to create long lasting, far reaching impact to students and counselors around the world.
