• Country Events: Workshops, Symposia, One-day conferences. These vary in participant numbers and are normally one-day events. Whilst organised 'Under the auspices of', or 'In Conjunction With' IAC, some country events may have less direct input by IAC.

• Ongoing virtual symposia, webinars and other online events. With the advent of COVID, IAC has increased online offerings throughout the year in cooperation with other associations and educational institutions.

There are multiple educational, cultural, economic, and social benefits of hosting such events. IAC International conferences and regional events bring together scholars and practitioners from around the world interested in a specific theme related to counselling. Hosting an IAC event can create an expanded network of both global and regional counsellors, and creates a major opportunity to place a spotlight on specific regional, or thematic, issues related to counselling. Events such as these advance the development of counselling through education, research, information-sharing (and fun!).
