Conferences
The Human Givens Institute holds its popular conference every two years.
They are great fun and provide a great opportunity for you to hear from a range of fascinating speakers, who are experts in their field, and network with like-minded people interested in applying the human givens approach and the insights it brings to make the world a better place for all.
Our next conference is being held on the weekend of 16th–17th May 2020 at the beautiful Woodland Grange in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, UK. You can find out more about it here.
