2027 Annual Conference in Bangkok
March 10 – 13, 2027
Welcome to the 2027 ISCA Annual Conference in the vibrant city of Bangkok, where we gather with a shared intention: Holding On to What Matters most in our work and in ourselves.
This year’s theme—Holding On to What Matters—invites us to pause in the midst of change and reconnect with the values, relationships, and purpose that guide our work as school counselors and educators.
In today’s schools, complexity continues to grow. Students arrive with evolving needs, systems are constantly shifting, and expectations on
professionals are increasing. Amid all of this, the challenge is not only how we respond—but how we remain grounded.
As international school counselors, we are often navigating uncertainty while supporting others through it. This conference is an opportunity to reflect, realign, and strengthen the foundations that sustain our practice—so that as we grow, we do not lose sight of what matters most.
