Two Days That Change How You Work

This isn't a conference you sit through. It's two days that change how you lead, communicate and perform, in a city worth the trip in its own right.

More than a conference

A turning point, not a talking shop

EmotionIntell brings together the world's leading voices in emotional intelligence, behavioural science and human performance, and 200 professionals serious about putting them to work. Two sold-out years tell you the rest.

Six reasons to be there

Why It's Worth Your Time

🎓

Tools, not theory

Practical takeaways from world-class researchers you can apply Monday morning, not ideas you forget by Friday.

🤖

The human edge in an AI world

As organisations wrestle with AI, empathy, judgement and EI matter more than ever. EI2027 sits right at that intersection.

🎥

Yours to keep

New for 2027, every keynote is professionally filmed and shared with you afterwards, so you can revisit it or share it with your team.

🌟

World-class speakers

Internationally recognised researchers, bestselling authors and practitioners, the calibre our delegates return for.

🤝

Your professional tribe

200 carefully curated peers, structured networking and evening socials. The relationships are half the value.

🎯

Radical interactivity

Compete, decode deception with experts, map empathy and get hands-on. You take part, you don't just spectate.

The outcomes

What you'll leave with

  • A practical toolkit of emotional-intelligence and behaviour techniques you can use immediately
  • A sharper perspective on leading and communicating in an AI age
  • New connections across industries and sectors
  • Keynote recordings to revisit and share with your team
  • Renewed energy, fresh ideas and a community that lasts well beyond the event

This conference had a wealth of impactful content related to human behaviour, connection and emotional intelligence. It was well worth travelling from Australia to Manchester to attend, and I look forward to the next one.

This conference has it all: world class speakers, thought-provoking conversations, practical application to the real world, and who could forget the social! It's refreshing to attend a conference with real people at its heart.

A world-class host city

One of Europe's Most Exciting Cities

EI2027 is hosted at The Midland Hotel on Peter Street, in the city where the modern world began, and a destination worth extending your stay for.

Manchester Skyline
  • Where the modern world began: birthplace of the industrial revolution, home of the first stored-program computer and the splitting of the atom, a city that has always shaped the future.
  • Brilliantly connected: a national rail hub with an international airport, easy to reach from across Europe and the US, and the venue is walkable from Piccadilly and Oxford Road.
  • A music and culture capital: the city of Oasis, Joy Division and the Hallé, with world-class galleries, museums and theatre.
  • Football royalty: home to two of the most famous clubs in world sport.
  • Food, bars and nightlife: the buzzing Northern Quarter, canalside bars, and yes, Motel One on St Peter's Square with its 24/7 bar, a couple of minutes from the venue.
  • Gateway to the Peak District: some of England's most beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Come early, stay late.

Who it's for

Leaders, L&D and HR professionals, coaches, behavioural-science practitioners and anyone who takes human performance seriously, especially now AI is reshaping what "valuable" means at work.
