An Invitation to Sponsor
We invite organisations and values-aligned sponsors to support our conference and the creation of inclusive, well-resourced events that stay true to our mission, to amplify diverse voices in coaching research.
Coaching in the Round is a Coaching Research Conference — that's our USP!
Building on the global success of the UK (2024) Canada (2025) and most recent South Africa (2026) events, the 4th Black Voices in Coaching Research Conference arrives in so-called Australia, on Gadigal Country to continue the journey to broaden the intellectual foundations of the coaching research ecosystem.
We invite you to join a global mission dedicated to pioneering the expansion of coaching research by seamlessly integrating the rich, relational wisdom found within Indigenous Knowledge Systems.
"This is a face-to-face conference. Not hybrid, not livestreamed, by design. Some knowledge only moves in the room: in eye contact, in shared silence, in who you sit next to at lunch. We're not interested in optimising that away."
A growing, global platform.
In an era when universities aren't always funding staff and postgraduate researchers to travel to in-person events, the numbers who make it into the room are committed.
Trusted by Researchers and Sponsors alike
What past delegates have said about the conference series.
The conference re-energised and inspired me to lean in more to the very knowledge systems invalidated or marginalised by Eurocentric professional bodies.— Janette Morgan
From the panels and poster sessions to the research presentations and reflection exercises, this conference asked a vital question: “How do we reach the people conventional coaching often overlooks?— Bruce Huntley
It has made me think beyond the tools that are there & actually work. One should not be afraid to develop tools & models that suit the type of environment they are in.—Pearl Bopape
