The 2008 International Conference on Emotional Intelligence was hosted at the Westin Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on Monday 30th June and Tuesday 1st July. Over 250 delegates, speakers, and exhibitors gathered to discuss Emotional Intelligence applications and best practices, highlighting recent studies and directing further research in the field. With a robust schedule of sessions offering a broad range of expertise and insight, ICEI® 2008 was a great success.
On this page, you can view photos of the conference proceedings and download supplementary materials, including handouts and presentation slides, from the sessions.
