Frequently Asked Forum Questions:

We’ve heard you may have some questions about our fully in-person 24th Annual Networking & Educational Forum, Change the Future: Collaborate. IACP created this Forum FAQ page to give you some clarity, but you can always reach out to forum@collaborativepractice.com if you still have questions or review our IACP Forum homepage for detailed information on all things Forum!

If you are applying for a Forum scholarship, please DO NOT register for Forum until scholarship recipients have been selected.

For Newcomers To Collaborative Practice Or First-Time Forum Attendees:

  • What if I’m new to the community and don’t know anyone at Forum?  At IACP, we are committed to creating inclusive and accessible spaces for new, developing, and experienced Collaborative and family dispute professionals to converge, converse, and learn from one another. During IACP’s in-person 2023 Forum, IACP’S Membership and Outreach Committee will also host a Welcome Inn event. This interactive event enables attendees to meet other Collaborative colleagues, build their network, discuss Collaborative Practice, ask questions, and learn how to make the most of IACP Membership, which will elevate your Collaborative career! Throughout Forum’s dynamic workshops and networking events, you are bound to meet new people. Ask any experienced Forum attendee, as a Collaborative community we work hard, and we play hard! This is a welcoming community, so introduce yourself to someone new, join a conversation or a table, and leave with life-long friends. While Forum offers many unique opportunities to meet like-minded professionals during our educational offerings, we also make time for other socializing and community building during downtime between events, at welcome receptions, around our shared hotel, and most famously, at our Saturday night party!
