Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH) 2024 Annual Humor Conference & Humor Academy is organized by Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH) and will be held from Apr 04 - 07, 2024 at The Curtis Denver - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Denver, Colorado, United States of America.
Who is AATH?
We are an inclusive community of humor professionals and enthusiasts with a shared mission to elevate and nourish the human spirit through the intentional use of humor and laughter. One way we do that is by offering professional development and continuing education at our annual humor conference.
What is therapeutic humor?
Therapeutic humor is any intervention that promotes health and wellness by stimulating a playful discovery, expression, or appreciation of the absurdity or incongruity of life’s situations. This intervention may enhance health or be used as a complementary treatment of illness to facilitate healing or coping, whether physical, emotional, cognitive, social, or spiritual.
Why should you attend or send your employees to the conference?
• Increased productivity
• Increased employee engagement
• Increased problem-solving
• Decreased absenteeism
• Improved social skills, including employee/consumer engagements
