The Annual Humor Conference will take place this year in downtown Denver, Colorado (April 2024). This is no joke.
The humor revolution is key to the Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor's mission. The annual conference and other events focus on various HR verticals with key speakers discussing the benefits of humor. This includes stress reduction, greater pain tolerance, increased blood flow and enhanced immunology function plus memory retention, enhanced trust, connection and empathy.
The organization has a 3 year certification course, is involved in the study of humor for therapeutic reasons and offers CEU's with conferences.
