Conferences

The Human Givens Institute holds its popular conference every two years.

Our conferences are 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 us all.

The HGI’s next conference is being held on 12th–13th May 2018 at the beautiful Woodland Grange in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. The theme is 'Living with Uncertainty'.

Prices and full booking details will be announced very soon – places are limited – but you can register your interest in advance here.
