Conventions and council
Our meetings are key events on the ICP agenda

ICP Conventions are a very significant event on the international education calendar with in excess of 1500 principals in attendance.

Council
Meetings
Council meetings occur at least once a year, with the council meeting attached to the convention every second year.
Council provides members with an opportunity to learn about education practices and policies specifically as it relates to the role of the school principals as they work to improve student learning outcomes.
The council is conducted as a forum for members to discuss and share issues and to determine future focus for the ICP.
Due to the pandemic ICP Council in 2020 and 2021 were conducted as online meetings.
In October 2022 the ICP Executive hosted a Council Meeting in Singapore with support from our members and colleagues from Academy of Principals Singapore.
Planning is now under way for the 2023 Council, which will be held in Rovaniemi ( Finnish Lapland) in mid September.
