About this event
If you care about coaching, community, and building stronger professional connections, this webinar is a smart way to spend your lunch hour. ICF Metro-DC Webinar x Zant brings together a coaching-minded audience for a focused midday session designed to help you learn something useful, meet the right people, and leave with ideas you can put to work right away. This is not a vague networking event or a passive sit-and-listen presentation. It is a chance to be in the room with people who take coaching seriously and want practical conversation, relevant insight, and meaningful connection. About the Event ICF Metro-DC Webinar x Zant is a community-centered event created for people interested in coaching and professional growth. With tags like coach, webinar, community, networking, and meetup, the event sits at the intersection of learning and relationship-building, making it a strong fit for attendees who want more than just content. The webinar format suggests a structured session with a clear theme, while the in-person setting adds something important: real interaction. Instead of logging off the moment the session ends, attendees have the opportunity to connect face-to-face, continue the conversation, and build rapport with others who share similar interests and goals. This combination matters. Coaching is a field built on trust, listening, reflection, and perspective. Those qualities come alive in a setting where people can learn together and then talk through what resonates, what challenges them, and what they want to explore further. Whether you already know the ICF Metro-DC community or are showing up for the first time, this event offers a straightforward entry point. You can come to learn, come to meet people, or come for both—and the format supports all three. What to Expect Expect a concise, professional midday experience that balances content with connection. Because this is framed as a webinar and a meetup, the event is likely to feel both structured and conversational, giving attendees a shared focal point while still leaving room for interaction. You can look forward to elements such as: A focused webinar session connected to coaching, professional development, or adjacent topics relevant to this community A shared learning experience that gives everyone a common starting point for discussion Networking opportunities before, during, or after the session in an in-person environment Community conversation with people who are engaged in coaching work, exploring the field, or interested in its practical applications Because the event takes place at 12:00 PM EST on Monday, January 12, it is well positioned as a midday reset: enough structure to sharpen your thinking, enough interaction to expand your network, and compact enough to fit into a working day. The tone is likely to be professional but approachable. You do not need to arrive with a polished pitch or a perfect reason for attending. It is enough to be curious, open to conversation, and ready to engage with others around shared interests in coaching and growth. Why Attend This event is valuable because it combines three things that are often separated: learning, community, and networking. Many professional events offer one of these well and neglect the others. Here, the mix itself is part of the draw. If you are in coaching, events like this help you stay connected to current conversations while also staying connected to people. That can lead to new perspectives, future collaborations, referral relationships, peer support, or simply a stronger sense of belonging in the broader coaching ecosystem. If you are adjacent to coaching—or curious about it—this is also a useful environment for understanding how coaching communities gather, what kinds of ideas are being discussed, and how professionals in this space relate to one another. That kind of exposure can be clarifying in ways that solo research often is not. Attendees may walk away with: Fresh insight from the webinar content New professional connections rooted in shared interests A better feel for the ICF Metro-DC community and how it shows up in practice Questions worth exploring further in your own work or development Momentum from spending time with thoughtful, engaged peers Practical Details Location type: In person Date: Monday, January 12 Time: 12:00 PM EST The in-person format makes this especially appealing for people who value real conversation and organic networking. It also means you should plan your day accordingly, especially if you are attending during work hours or around other midday commitments. Because the event is scheduled at noon, it is a good idea to arrive ready to shift quickly into session mode. Give yourself enough buffer to settle in, be present, and make the most of the networking aspect rather than rushing in distracted. This event is a strong fit if you want a professional gathering that feels focused without being stiff. You can expect a room of people who care about coaching, community, and thoughtful exchange—and that alone makes this a worthwhile place to show up. If you have been meaning to reconnect with your professional community, meet new people in the coaching space, or add something substantive to your Monday, this is a timely opportunity to do all three in one setting.
