The International Interdisciplinary Conference on Clinical Supervision (IICCS) invites proposals for paper, poster, panel, workshop, and roundtable presentations for the June 2027 conference that will be held in a hybrid format, in-person at Rutgers University, in New Brunswick, NJ, and online. 

The conference uses a peer-review process of your submitted information (incl. a 500-word abstract max. + 3-5 scholarly references that do not count toward the word total). 

Evaluation criteria is as follows:  

• Significance to clinical supervision practice (which also includes education, administration, and/or policy)
• Relevance to an interdisciplinary/international audience
• Clarity of description
• Scholarly merit, including use of references
• Contribution of new knowledge or models to the field
• Demonstrated awareness of previous work related to the topic
• Workshops are also evaluated on creativity and engagement. 

If your proposal is accepted, your presentation will take place on either June 10 or 11. This year, we will be offering a limited number of virtual presentations, in addition to our full, in-person program.

The early submission date for early notification is November 30, 2026.

The submission deadline is January 31, 2027.

Definitions of Abstract Types

1. An oral paper formally presents research, practice, or scholarship on supervision. As much as possible, papers are grouped with one to two (1-2) other similar topics, with each presentation being 20-25 minutes.
2. A hard-copy poster visually presents research, practice, or scholarship on supervision. This format aims to promote informal discussion with participants. Multiple posters are presented at the same time, with the opportunity to circulate and engage with various presenters and their work. 
3. A panel comprises three (3) related papers focused on a theme, presenting multiple perspectives, and moderated by one (1) of the presenters. 
4. A roundtable (RT) is an informal, yet focused discussion on a specific supervision topic, led by one to three (1-3) facilitators. 
   • There will be approximately 12-18 RTs, each with a distinct theme. 
   • Each RT seats 10–15 participants from diverse backgrounds, countries, and disciplines.
   • Facilitators offer a brief, three to five (3–5)-minute overview of the topic and share a two to four (2–4)-page handout (electronic or hard copy) containing essential concepts, references, and resources. 
   • This is not a formal or informal presentation or workshop; instead, your role is to lead and support a meaningful discussion among participants. 
   • Many facilitators prepare a few questions in advance to stimulate conversations.
5. A limited number of interactive workshop sessions will engage participants in building knowledge and skills through demonstration and active learning activities.

PLEASE NOTE: Our conference is aiming to expand our virtual offerings.  As the first year to offer most types of presentations virtually, these spaces will be limited.
