Past in-person conferences
“Absorbing and inspiring from start to finish"
Our online and in-person conference events are created for you. All have inspiring speakers, ideas and stimulating content. The in-person events are a great networking opportunity. They are well attended by a range of interesting people from around the world, the majority of whom use the human givens approach directly in their work, but many others have benefited from it in their lives or are simply interested in how the rich psychological knowledge the approach encapsulates can be used to improve not only mental health and wellbeing, but any human endeavour.
