Further information regarding speakers, the programme, and tickets.

Tickets are available to purchase here.

Part of our vision involves removing financial barriers, as much as we can, by offering bursaries towards the cost of a conference ticket. 

Please see our Bursaries page for an option to apply for a 25-50% bursary contribution towards the price of the conference ticket fee.

While a detailed schedule of events and venues will be provided for all attendees, a broad indication of the running order can be found on the programme page.

Online-only tickets are available now for those who prefer to attend remotely, offering you the chance to join our conference from anywhere in the world. A significant portion of the conference is accessible virtually, though may not entirely replicate the in-person event’s atmosphere and networking opportunities. 

The ICM:2024 Community Portal is open to all registered conference attendees. This central online space will host all supporting information and conference materials as they become available.

Only by logging into this portal will you be able to:

  • Find information that is exclusive to conference attendees
  • Join the conference online
  • Download conference schedules
  • Watch live streams
  • Access recordings
  • Read research abstracts
  • Connect with everyone before and during the conference

It is important that you log in and keep checking back for updates before the conference begins on 2 August – we are looking forward to connecting with you there! See how to login, below.

The ICM:2024 Community Portal is open to all registered conference attendees. Please allow a few days for your access to be activated after registration.

Everyone attending the conference (both in-person and online) will have access to the ICM:2024 Community Portal. The portal will be your central source of information and our primary way of communicating with you about joining the conference.

Please follow the steps below to ensure you can access the portal in order to receive the most up to date information. This applies to all ticket holders, including speakers, guests and volunteers, across all days of the conference:

1. Verify Your Email

Our team will enroll you onto the ICM:2024 Community Portal using the email you used to purchase your ticket. If your email is incorrect, notify us at conference@mindfulness-network.org immediately.

2. Check Your Inbox

New attendees will receive an email from MN Community with login details within a few days. If you don’t see it, check your spam or junk folder. If you’ve attended a Mindfulness Network event before with this email, you already have an account.

3. Test Your Login Before the Conference

Ensure you log in well before the conference to access materials and live streams. If you encounter issues, contact us before 2 August at conference@mindfulness-network.org.

In the interest of sustainability, there are no printed tickets for ICM:2024. Once we receive your details and any required payments, your registration will be complete.

For both online and in-person attendees: Please ensure you can log in to the ICM:2024 Community Portal using the email you used to purchase your ticket, ideally before 2 August. This portal is essential for accessing livestreams and recordings during and after the conference.

For in-person attendees: There will be a registration and helpdesk on arrival where you can collect your lanyard and guidebook.

We have a dedicated Accessibility page to support those attending ICM:2024 at Bangor. The Conference Team are committed to holding the conference in a way that creates an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere for all.

It is important to us to be able to fully welcome everyone. If you have any specific needs relating to accessibility, disability or health conditions, including difficulties with hearing, please contact us at conference@mindfulness-network.org before the conference so that we can discuss ways that we can support you during the event.

Accommodation is not included in the ticket price and you will need to arrange your own place to stay for the duration of the conference.
