About I-CEPS

Join us for the International Congress on Evidence-based Parenting Support (I-CEPS), a ground-breaking global initiative to advance research, policy, and practice in the field of parenting and family intervention. The theme of the 2023 I-CEPS is promoting well-being and health globally through effective parenting support.  

The Congress aims to bring the evidence-based parenting support community together, inspire innovation and collective action, and empower parents and families around the world to benefit the next generation. The first I-CEPS digital event will be held over three days: Tuesday 6 – Thursday 8 June, 2023. Registrations are currently open and we look forward to welcoming you to this truly global online event. 


Live concurrently in four time zones

To maximise the potential for knowledge-sharing, networking and global impact the I-CEPS program will deliver a range of high-quality activities across four live time zones. If there are multiple sessions held concurrently in different time zone tracks, you are welcome to attend any session. Additionally, keynote and invited speaker sessions will be recorded and remain available for three-months post-Congress on the event platform.

Depending on the time zone in which you live, the Congress will start and end at different times. To learn more about your access times on each day of the Congress, please check out the FAQ page.

Reasons to attend

The Congress will provide an exceptional opportunity to learn about the latest research and innovations, acquire new tools to adopt the latest practices, connect with peers, and plan post Congress collaboration.


Global mission
Be a part of the global community. The I-CEPS 2023 will bring together professionals in all fields of parenting support from around the world. Meet and learn from parenting researchers, practitioners, policy makers, etc., and contribute to a global effort to improve access for all families to effective parenting support.

Diverse representation
In line with the key theme, global representation of disciplines, ethnicities, geographic regions, and resource settings is central to the makeup of the Congress committee membership, program content, and post-congress activities. You will find a variety of sessions and events that are uniquely relevant to your interests and presented with subtitles in multiple languages.

Networking and collaboration
The I-CEPS will be an excellent chance to connect with like-minded peers both locally and from around the world. The virtual platform will hold a range of networking events and host ongoing communication via direct message and video call, dedicated discussion forums, and an internal social media feed with a linked Twitter hashtag.

World leading presenters
Hear from and connect with world leading experts in your field. The program will include a mix of well-known and promising researchers, program developers, 
master clinicians, policy makers, consumers, and service providers.


Improving knowledge transfer
The I-CEPS 2023 aims to provide a global opportunity for enhancing knowledge transfer in the field of parenting. It will actas a powerful and transformational case exemplar of solution-focused, collaborative engagement of key stakeholders resulting in improved research, policy impact and effective deployment of programs that work. 

Ongoing social impact
Post-Congress action circles will be established to take learnings and commitments from the Congress and translate them into local learning collaboratives and research projects. Action circles will be a crucial first step in developing the networks required to collectively advocate for policy change and improved parenting services.
