National Conference

Each year the ITA holds a national conference, which is a 3-day event following exams, with workshops, celebration of exam passes, networking and socialising. The conference is a welcoming and resourceful event, usually with around 50-60 workshops overall to choose from.

The next conference will take place 29th April - 1st May 2011 at Staverton Park Northamptonshire.

Realising Berne’s Vision: TA and the Wider World

Click here for full details. In 2010 the TA World will be celebrating 100 years since the birth of Eric Berne. ITA is no exception and our conference in Keele will provide an opportunity to celebrate how TA has grown from Eric's original ideas and used his inspiration to take concepts such as autonomy, open communication and decisional development into the four fields of TA and beyond.

Our keynote speakers Gloria Noreiga and Rosemary Napper (President of ITAA) represent the world wide TA community and will be setting the scene for a conference that focuses on how the ideas and concepts created by Eric Berne have so many exciting potentials for the wider world.

Berne had a vision to make knowledge about the psychological aspects of human experience accessible to the wider public and since he died in 1970, there have been many exciting developments in the world of TA in all the fields.

The workshop programme will reflect this and include speakers who use TA in new and innovative ways, sometimes to enhance and develop other approaches and theories. The social programme will have a truly celebratory feel offering opportunities for all styles of networking and partying.
