Europe's largest conference on psychedelic consciousness, Breaking Convention debuted at the University of Kent in 2011 to an audience of 500 delegates. Now in its thirteenth year, it has developed into a truly multi-faceted conference selling well over a thousand tickets in forty countries and offering the latest ground-breaking research and insights across human and social sciences, law, politics, art, history and philosophy.
Our main, biennial conference spans three full days, during which we also hold numerous workshops and awards, display an art exhibition and installation programme, show a full cinema programme, curate a museum and blotter art auction, throw killer after parties and publish a book of selected academic works free for every delegate.
