The Speakers at the 2026 IANDS NDE Symposium Europe & Africa
Dr. Penny Sartori (UK) has conducted unique and extensive research into the near-death experiences (NDEs) of her patients in intensive care units. Dr. She’ll join us to discuss her pioneering work conducting hospital-based research into NDES.
She’ll be joined by Professor Patrizio Tressoldi (Italy), who aims to empirically test the “Survival Hypothesis” — the claim that we “survive” after the death of our brain. He’ll explore the scientific approaches to mapping the afterlife.
They’ll be joined by four individuals who’ve had near-death experiences — Gina Lindroos (Sweden), Candice Purchase (South Africa), Lasse Gustavson (Sweden), and Rainer Sturm (Germany).
