International Conference on Thinking
The International Conference on Thinking (ICOT) is an internationally renowned multidisciplinary event held every couple of years in different cities around the world, attracting a diverse group of leading people, both international and local, from a range of industries and disciplines.
ICOT aims to help educators, academics, business and creative professionals provoke, challenge, learn, and discuss the many forms of thinking and its application, in creating new ideas and solving problems including those related to business and global issues.
"The future depends on what we do in the present." - Mahatma Ghandi

The theme: We are on the edge of what?
If we accept that it’s part of living in our ever changing world to expect the unexpected, how can this be reframed from challenges to opportunities?
We can’t accurately predict the future, but with clear, critical, creative thinking, and sharing new ideas and putting them into action, a future for the greater good can be co-created!
That is exactly what Melbourne ICOT is working towards and all presenters and participants can have a role in this!
The Strands
The interdisciplinary nature of ICOT 2024 provides opportunities to venture further from what you have traditionally leaned towards, and encourages you to do so. You are likely to be surprised as you find how interconnected things are, and can be, despite seeming to be worlds apart! Participants have the freedom to explore all the following strands throughout ICOT 2024 and later on too.
- Human Rights
- Business
- Education
- The Body (Neuroscience and Well-being)
- Technology
- Globalisation

The question
What is the role of ethics and trust in all of these and co-creating a better future for all?
