Join us for an engaging and insightful panel discussion. We will delve into the critical issue of stress management in the fast-paced, ever-evolving world of technology and how it has evolved over the last twenty years. Technological advancements have dramatically transformed how we work, communicate, and live, and while these changes have brought incredible benefits, they have also led to unprecedented levels of stress and burnout. Our expert panellists, each with extensive experience in high-stress team management, personal resilience, cybersecurity, and C-suite IT leadership, will share their personal stories, strategies, and insights. They will discuss constant connectivity, the pressure to stay ahead, and the emotional toll of life events in their personal and professional lives. Attendees will gain practical tips that are easy to implement, empowering you to find balance, build resilience, and maintain mental health as technology changes around you.
