The main focus of BX2015 will be on learning from practitioners from around the world. So alongside these speakers, parallel sessions will focus on how behavioural insights can support specific areas of policy.
These smaller ,more interactive sessions will focus on the following areas: health, climate change, financial services, labour market, crime and security, education, international development, organisational behaviour, and human kindness. There will also be opportunities to learn about the basics of applying behavioural insights.
And finally, there will be lots of opportunities to get involved, starting right now with some of the online surveys and experiments on the BX2015 website.
