UNDERSTANDING THE HYPNO SUMMIT
Features and Pricing Comparisons
The Hypno Summit takes place completely online in virtual classrooms in our virtual expo hall. To some people this may be a little confusing, so we have created a simple comparison of the features at the Hypno Summit and a traditional conference.

As you can see, both offer important features and have their own pros and cons. We know that hands on training is important, and that the Hypno Summit is not a replacement for that kind of education. We are offering something different. We have the same speakers giving very similar lectures as the traditional conferences, and even though you can ask them questions through our site you may want a more traditional type of interaction.
We encourage people to go to “real world” conferences and meet the people face to face. In fact, we have been and will continue to be presenters at these conferences ourselves.
Having attended and presented at many conferences around the United States, we know what kind of financial commitment it requires. Here are the prices for each of the three biggest conferences in the United States. These numbers assume you stay in the hotel for only 3 nights, you sign up for 2 of the small workshops (no pre or post conference classes, as that would add to the hotel bill as well). All prices exclude tax. Airfare is assuming you come from within the continental USA.

Conclusion:
There are a lot of factors to compare when deciding where to get your continuing education in hypnosis. Understanding what you are looking for and your goals for the education is an important place to start. We created the Hypno Summit to offer another set of options while still offering similar features to the traditional "real world" conferences. If you have any questions, please let us know.
