6 answeredICA Annual Conference 2026 runs November 5–7, 2026.
The organizer reports more than 400 counseling professionals attending the 2026 conference.
The 2026 conference is at Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center in Oak Brook, Illinois.
The stated audiences include mental health counselors, school counselors, counselor educators, and counseling students.
Private practice owners may find the Joe Sanok session on practice building relevant, while counselors outside Illinois or those seeking a national research forum would get less from a state association meeting.
Counselors at state association conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks, skirts, sweaters or collared shirts, with comfort favoured over formality. Illinois in early November is cool, so layers help in conference rooms at the Oak Brook resort.
