About Event

Welcome to Pondicherry University 

I am happy to welcome all the office bearers of the Academy of Hypnosis and the active delegates of the 2nd International Conference of Academy of Hypnosis (ICAoH) at Pondicherry University on 24-25 January 2025. Considering the importance of the subject knowledge of the Academy of Hypnosis, the Indian School Psychology Association is collaborating with the Association to organize the 2nd International Conference of the Academy of Hypnosis.

I assure you the ambiance of the venue is suitable for organizing the International Conference with the necessary infrastructure. In addition to that comfortable stay, delicious food, and local sightseeing will also be arranged.

I am grateful to the AoH team for choosing Pondicherry University as the venue and myself as the Organising Secretary.

I welcome all the members of both the Associations and delegates for active participation and fruitful interaction during the conference. Needless to say this is a unique opportunity for the academic professionals in psychology could interact with hypnotherapists closely to understand the recent developments to face the challenges ahead.
