UK Hypnosis Convention- The UK's biggest hypnosis convention

RENAISSANCE LONDON HEATHROW HOTEL

Open to all Schools & Associations

The main intention is to help progress the hypnosis related professions and expand the knowledge of all attendees. We provide a truly open and inclusive platform where everyone is welcome and everybody is encouraged to actively participate and engage with one another. The convention has proven to be an open, informal and friendly occasion, where everybody is equal and respectful of eachother and appreciative of different skill sets and views. The organiser does not seek to promote their own professional interests during the convention, but rather pushing the agenda of sharing knowledge and promoting hypnosis. Our popular dinner last year helped to encourage an atmosphere of friendliness and cooperation and due to demand there will be another Gala Dinner on the Saturday night.

About the Day

The Rethinking Education Conference 2022 Saturday, September 17th London

Addey & Stanhope School, 472 New Cross Road, London, SE14 6TJ

THIS WILL BE AN EDUCATION CONFERENCE WITH A DIFFERENCE

Everyone is affected by education in some way. But education conferences are often not hugely representative of the wider world. In particular, the voices of young people, parents and carers and classroom practitioners are often overlooked and unheard. This conference will be an opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together:

• To have your voice heard
• To learn from other people’s perspectives
• To create an education system that works for *all* young people

AN INCLUSIVE EVENT

There is a quota of free tickets available for young people and parents/carers, should you require it. We don’t want money to be a barrier to attendance at this important event. The event will be 100% accessible by wheelchair.

You can learn more about the event here.

Festival of Education

Wellington College

The 12th Festival of Education will take place at Wellington College in July 2022 and will host over 200 leading speakers from the world of education.

After a two-year pause due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, the Festival will return to the beautiful grounds of Wellington College – the home of the Festival of Education. You can expect an extra special event.

It promises to be one of those Festivals we talk about for years to come as we plan to deliver more than ever, defining and evolving the education debate to ensure we continue to lead, stimulate, discuss and showcase what is vital for the future society.

Across the two days, over 5,000 education professionals will attend hundreds of thought-provoking sessions from some of education’s leading thinkers.

The Festival is no ordinary education event: Taking inspiration from other well-known art and entertainment festivals, we provide unique content in a relaxed Festival environment.
