Since 1986
| Switzerland 2008 |
| The International Congresses are a forum for workshops and presentations which bring teachers together to exchange work, knowledge, and experiences of the Technique. The focus may be practical or theoretical, and the purpose directed at improving our own use, developing the profession, developing teaching methods and enhancing our understanding of the Technique. The Congresses are open to everyone interested in the Alexander Technique. Each Congress is run by a group of Congress Directors. The work of the Congress Directors is supervised by the Board of International Alexander Technique Congress Directors.
