What to expect?
The idea behind HBC Fest stemmed from the desire to create an event that really embodies the values of Human Behaviour Change for Life: being practical, fostering connection, providing support, embracing innovation and being ethical. We knew that a conference in the traditional sense wouldn't fit that bill and so the idea of holding a festival-style experience was planted.
Practical: "From principles to practice"
The theme of HBC Fest is "From principles to practice" - but what do we mean by this? We truly are behaviour change science geeks but as much as we love delving into the theory and psychology of change, we know that ultimately we need to be able to apply these in real-life situations, from the office to the field. HBC Fest will give you the chance to learn from those who have done just that, as well as enabling you to practice using key tools and techniques in practical workshops.
Connection: Speakers and guests from diverse sectors
At HBCL we believe that people and problems don’t exist in isolation, and that’s why the HBC Fest “line-up” is designed to celebrate the interconnectivity in everything we do. Our speakers and activity leaders will share the lessons they’ve learned from their work across diverse projects and sectors, and they will guide you in being able to apply these principles to your own work.
Support: Growing together
HBC Fest will be a safe environment to explore ideas and learn new skills in both your professional and personal lives. Whether you work in small or large teams, or independently, championing each other and celebrating the amazing successes of others is so important to building confidence and keeping momentum in the work that we do.
Innovative: A break from the normal conference routine
In the work we do with our clients, we love to create innovative projects and activities that break the mould and we wanted to bring that ethos to HBC Fest. So, don't expect endless PowerPoint presentations but be prepared to take part in activities and workshops that will get those ideas sparking and relationships nurtured.
Ethical: High impact for us, low impact on the planet
We all know how wasteful events can be so it was really important to us that HBC Fest was as low impact on the environment as possible. All the food will be vegan (although cow's milk will be available for hot drinks) and we have worked closely with our catering suppliers and the venue to bring the most sustainable options for plates, cups, and cutlery. Please help us by following any guidelines on recycling etc. while on site.
