Started by ICF Coach Jerry Udelson in 1999, and sponsored by the International Coaching Federation, the International Coaching Week (ICW) is a week-long global celebration of the power and impact of professional coaching. It takes place every year in May.

Individuals and organizations are invited to explore, test, and discover coaching through a variety of events: webinars, educational, workshops and coaching sessions offered primarily pro-bono. 

The purpose is to offer the experience of coaching and disseminate information about it widely around the world.
