Royal Kentalis is excited to announce our participation in the upcoming International Congress on the Education of the Deaf (ICED) in Rome, Italy, this July 2025. This marks another opportunity for us to engage with global experts, share our research and practises, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on education for individuals who are Deaf of hard of hearing (DHH).
Who Will Be Attending?
Kentalis will be sending a delegation of 40 passionate professionals, including researchers and educators in the field of DHH, as well as colleagues from Kentalis International Foundation.

Reflecting on Past Success
This year’s event follows the success of our previous ICED engagements, including the 2015 conference in Greece and the 2021 edition that was held online during the COVID-19 pandemic. At both events, Kentalis made meaningful contributions, and we are excited to build on that momentum with even more insightful presentations and discussions at ICED 2025.
