ICF Coaching Forum 2026

For the third year, Lithuania’s largest coaching event brings together professionals from coaching, business and education.

This year’s theme – “Trusting the Human”: influence, responsibility and trust in the age of AI.

AI is transforming how we work, learn and communicate. Yet the most important changes are happening in how we think: when do we entrust a decision to AI, and when do we choose to trust a human?

At what time?

9:30-18:00

Where?

Vytautas Magnus University Science and Study Centre, Putvinskio St. 23, Kaunas

When technology changes the world, human values and choices shape the future.

At the Forum, we will explore

how to maintain clarity in a world of speed and information overload;
how our understanding of influence, responsibility and choice is evolving;
which human capabilities remain most valuable as AI takes over more tasks;
what role connection, trust and collaboration will play in future organisations and communities.

The Forum aims to bring together business, coaching and education professionals to explore the role of the human – and of coaching – in a rapidly changing world.

It is important to understand not only what we need to adapt to, but also what we should not allow ourselves to lose.
