IECA offers many professional development opportunities for consultants, including two national conferences each year in the spring and fall at various locations across the country. Conferences span several days and
include one day of sessions designed solely for IECA consultants as well as days designed to meet the needs of a wide range of education professionals. IECA conferences are unique because they invite representatives from colleges, independent schools, learning disability programs, behavioral/therapeutic programs, gap year, travel programs, and consultant service companies to learn alongside the consultants at the various workshops, seminars, and information swaps.
Attendance at both the spring and fall conferences has doubled over the past several years. Approximately 85% of the consultants in attendance are typically IECA members. 
Sponsorship of events during conferences, common at most professional gatherings, has become part of IECA in recent years. Sponsorships are an effective way to lend your support to the Association and the profession while establishing your organization’s presence at the conference.
