Why Rishikesh

Away from the noise

ICCBI 2027 is designed as a one-of-its-kind immersive conference, held where the questions it asks have been explored for centuries. Rishikesh sits on the Ganga in the foothills of the Himalaya and is known worldwide as the yoga capital of the world, a town of ashrams, meditation halls and seekers. In February the days are cool and clear, well suited to sitting, walking and talking.

This is not a conference to attend between flights. Delegates learn and reflect together away from the city, which makes room for the conversations that rarely happen at a conventional conference.
