 The International Bowen Conference organised by John Wilks, a UK senior tutor, took place in October 2008. This was the first time a major Bowen conference had been held in the UK. Delegates came from all parts of the world to hear experts from many countries talk about a wide range of health issues.
 The proceedings were opened by Ossie Rentsch the co-founder of the Bowen Technique Academy of Australia, the first Bowen Technique teaching organisation in the world. Now, under the Bowtech banner, the organisation has thousands of practitioners throughout the world. Ossie, who was originally instructed by Tom Bowen himself, told his audience that they should trust the technique to address the issues in the body and to avoid ever mixing the technique with other modalities. Bowen can do the healing work needed, on its own.
Speakers at the conference presented a wide range of subjects including how jaw dysfunction affects posture and how electrical currents in the body stimulate healing. All of this confirming much of what Tom Bowen discovered in his pioneering work some fifty to sixty years ago. The way Bowen treatments improve the general structure of the body, asthma, thyroid function and even the birthing process were all covered enthusiastically and held the audience captivated.
 Janey Lee Grace - Radio 2 Co-host of the Steve Wright Show spoke about her experiences with the Bowen Technique and how it had dramatically improved her health and wellbeing. She has become a real advocate of Bowen, particularly for mothers and babies.
 The very successful and fascinating conference was brought to a conclusion in the summing up by Elaine Rentsch, co-founder of Bowtech.
