Experience Global Mind Change in Action

May 23, 2024
IONS Communications Team

With our historic gathering BEYOND: Global Mind Change in Action around the corner, we can’t wait to explore the individual and collective paths available to shift global consciousness with you and our community.

Celebrating 50 years

In 1992, the first international IONS conference was called “Global Mind Change: from Vision to Reality.” You can even check out the original program here. Now in our 50th anniversary year, this conference will celebrate the many contributions the noetic sciences have made toward creating a global mind change since then. This is the moment to translate our learning into action, together. 

While the focus is the same as it was 32 years ago, this gathering is anything but traditional. Our online format offers you connections in real time around the globe, bringing together a larger community than ever before. IONS consciousness research reaches beyond space and time, so it only felt natural to scale up our conference to become a global event bound by neither.

World-renowned speakers

We have invited over fifty incredible researchers, teachers, and practitioners to share their work and lead discussions on the possibilities available to the world through shifts in consciousness.

Of course, IONS’ expert science team — Helané Wahbeh, Dean Radin, Arnaud Delorme, Garret Yount, and Cedric Cannard — will be in full force, along with our new President, Thomas Brophy, and Board Chair / Interim CEO, Claudia Welss.

In addition, we’ll have mind-expanding presentations by world-renowned speakers discussing consciousness and AI, UAPs, psychedelics and creativity, mind-body healing, extraordinary human capacities, ancient civiliations and new realities, and more. Here’s the current list of presenters:
