“Charting the Course” invites delegates not simply to attend, but to actively shape the future — individually, organisationally, and collectively. The event will start by intentionally creating a space for open dialogue and vulnerability, fostering openness and preparing delegates for deep personal and collective exploration.

Your Community: A Powerful Force for Change

Central to the 64th Congress is an unwavering focus on people — the attendees, stakeholders, and the broader community. Recognising that meaningful exploration and transformation begin with the individual, theICCA Congress centres the human experience. 

Congress design principles prioritise personal connections, authentic dialogue, and immersive engagement, ensuring that every delegate feels valued, included, and empowered. As delegates embark on their journey, ICCA commits to placing people first, knowing that genuine growth, innovation, and lasting impact are achieved when the human experience remains central to our collective voyage forward.

To chart a course is to step boldly into the unknown, guided by courage, curiosity, and unwavering belief in possibility. It means choosing exploration over certainty, innovation over comfort, and transformation over stagnation. "Charting the Course" invites each of us to become explorers of ideas, perspectives, and potential.
