EMCC Global held its 2026 annual conference of coaching, mentoring and supervision in Zagreb, Croatia. The in-person conference is published as 11–13 May 2026. The theme is “Beyond the Known: New Ways of Being, Becoming and Leading.” The site describes a three-day developmental journey of listening, experimenting, reflecting and collaborating — an invitation to move beyond familiar frameworks. The organiser’s site is the EMCC Global Annual Conference 2026 page. Hanover Executive is not affiliated with the organiser.
The conference
EMCC’s annual conference is a gathering of coaches, mentors and supervisors. “Beyond the Known” is a professional-development frame: the organiser says each day is meant to deepen the conversation and expand collective capacity. Mentoring and supervision sit in the title next to coaching. Those are different conversations. A leader who wants a mirror, not a report, is closer to the work Hanover Executive takes.
“New ways of being, becoming and leading” can be empty if it only means a new slide. It is less empty if it means the leader will stop performing a self that the role has outgrown. A new seat that keeps the old habits is costume.
Listening, experimenting, reflecting, collaborating — the four verbs on the organiser’s page — are in a sensible order. Listening before experimenting is the part executives skip. Experimenting before reflecting is how a transformation deck gets rewritten every quarter.

If “beyond the known” is the banner, the private question is which known thing you are using as a shield. A calendar you cannot keep. A deck you call a transformation. A first meeting you will not allow to fail. Enquire with your seat and the kind of conversation.
