ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:

These annual conference events have grown in popularity since the very first meeting in London back in 2005. They enable and actively encourage the international exchange of information, experience and ideas between researchers with a view to initiating new avenues of research and to lay the foundations for future cooperation. They underscore the importance of continued research into synaesthesia as well as providing an important
  

platform for synaesthete's to express their experiences in an accommodating and appreciative environment.  They also provide those who are participants in various research projects with a way of getting some sort of feedback from our own contributions to general understanding and, rather uniquely, they grant ample opportunity for the researched to research the researchers! Delegates come from all over the world, lending the conference it's accustomed, international flavour. The constructive and amenable atmosphere found at

  

these annual conferences and the commitment and enthusiasm of the Associations that organise them are so vital in our mission to provide accurate and reliable information for those who want it.
