The SOLWorld 2025 Conference is a unique opportunity for professionals who utilise the Solution Focused (SF) method in organisational contexts to come together, share experiences, and learn from one another. 

Over three days, you will get in touch with the latest developments in SF practices, engage in carefully designed workshops, and connect with a global network of like-minded professionals. Set in the beautiful and historic city of Mechelen, Belgium, this conference is not just an event—it's an experience that fosters growth, innovation, and community.​

​

This year's conference theme is IN GOOD COMPANY. This theme beautifully reflects the spirit of our gatherings, where we come together in an atmosphere that is warm, inclusive, and welcoming. At SOLWorld, everyone is seen, valued, and celebrated, creating a space where connections and learning thrive. IN GOOD COMPANY also speaks to our work as Solution-Focused professionals in organizations. As coaches, trainers, and organizational developers, we strive to contribute to the creation of good companies—workplaces that prioritize well-being, foster collaboration, and achieve meaningful results. 

​

SOLWorld was formed in 2002 as a network for Solution Focused leaders, managers, coaches and consultants worldwide. Since then there have been over 50 SOLWorld events worldwide. Our strap line is "Sharing and Building Solutions Focused Practice in Organisations". At SOLWorld, sharing is the key word. We don't distinguish between presenters and participants: everybody is encouraged to collaborate in this mutual learning event. 

The Solution Focused approach is a simple way to positive change. It aims to discover "what works" in a given situation, simply and practically. The focus on what's wanted (not what's wrong), what's going well (rather than what's gone badly) and practical progress (rather than explanatory theory) leads to a positive and pragmatic way to work with organisations and individuals. SF has its roots in the therapeutic approach devised by Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer at BFTC Milwaukee and others.
