Welcome!
Welcome!
To our membership and friends,
It is with happiness and great expectations that we invite you to join us at the 56th Annual EARCOS Leadership Conference. This very special event will be held in Bangkok from October 21 through October 24 at the Shangri-La Hotel.
This year’s program, inspired by our theme “Schools of Hope,” promises to be one of the most dynamic conferences we have ever offered. With a dozen powerful preconference sessions, inspirational keynotes, job-alike gatherings, and over 200 workshops led by thought leaders on the topics that matter most to leaders in international education, you will find countless opportunities to engage, learn, and be inspired.
In a world where schools play a critical role in shaping resilient, compassionate, and innovative learners, never has there been a more important moment for leaders to come together, share experiences, and ignite hope in the communities we serve. Join your colleagues from across the region—and around the globe—in Bangkok this October as we celebrate the power of schools to inspire hope, transform lives, and lead with purpose.
With all best wishes,
Edward E. Greene, Ph.D.
Executive Director
About the conference
About the conference
The Leadership Conference brings together heads of school, senior leaders, counselors, and educators from across the EARCOS network and the global international school community. It is a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing schools today.
Guided by the theme “Schools of Hope,” this conference will explore how schools can be more than centers of learning—they can be beacons of inspiration, resilience, and possibility. Participants will gain insights into innovative practices, strategies for nurturing wellbeing, and approaches to empower both educators and students to thrive in uncertain times.
Through inspiring keynotes, job-alike sessions, and nearly 200 workshops, attendees will share best practices, learn from one another, and leave energized to create schools that foster hope, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. This is a moment to celebrate the positive impact schools have in shaping the future and to strengthen the global network of leaders committed to making that impact meaningful and lasting.
Join us in Bangkok this October to be part of this extraordinary gathering of leaders—where learning, leadership, and hope intersect.
