Irish Hypnotherapy Conference

About the Conference

You work hard at your practice. The training you deserve is harder to find.

World-class training, honest peer conversation, and access to the researchers pushing this field forward — that is harder to find than it should be. IHC 2027 is where Irish practitioners come to close that gap. Three days, 40+ international speakers, and a community that understands exactly what you do.

The 2027 theme is Empowering Connections, Advancing Expertise, Embracing Clarity — our most ambitious programme to date, with 24+ CPD hours across every ticket.

02
