Education

Education is an essential part of our mission, and we offer a variety of educational opportunities to help people learn and grow.

  • Annual Conference – Our annual conference is a global meeting place for researchers, experiencers, clergy, caregivers, veterans and the general public.  In 2024, more than 900 people gathered for our Phoenix conference.  In 2025, we expect even more attendees at our Golden Anniversary Celebration, August 27-31, 2025, in Oak Brook, Illinois.
  • On-Line Symposium – We host an annual, research-focused on-line symposium each Spring.  Videos from past symposia may be found here.
  • Weekly Live Events – IANDS offers a complete program of events covering near-death experiences and other spiritually transformative experiences.
  • Recommended Reading – Looking for a great read on near-death experiences and related phenomena?  Check our list of recommended reading (coming soon!). When you click to purchase a book from Amazon directly from our website, you’ll also be donating to IANDS through the Amazon Partners Program.
