This year, we’re pressing pause — and we’re doing it loudly.
We’re thrilled to announce the return of Event Wellbeing Week, running from 23–27 June 2025, in proud partnership with The Meetings Show. This marks a powerful new chapter for a campaign that was always about more than awareness. It’s about action. Culture shift. A line in the sand.
Because let’s be real: the events industry has never been short on energy. We’re dynamic, we’re fast-paced, we get stuff done. But somewhere in the hustle, we stopped breathing. We stopped checking in. And somewhere along the line, exhaustion became the norm — even the badge of honour.
Not anymore.
This Year’s Theme: “The Power of Pause: Self-Love as a Radical Act”
Yes — radical. Because in an industry that thrives on output, momentum and performance, choosing to rest, reflect, and set boundaries is an act of rebellion. Saying, “my wellbeing matters” is a statement. Taking a breath is brave.
This theme is a rally cry — not just to slow down, but to reclaim what it means to work well.
It’s about recognising that self-care isn’t fluff. It’s infrastructure. That rest isn’t weakness. It’s sustainability. And that you, exactly as you are, deserve to feel safe, seen, and supported in the spaces you work and create.
A Powerful New Partnership: EventWell x The Meetings Show
This year, we’re proud to join forces with The Meetings Show 2025 to bring wellbeing back to the centre of the UK event industry conversation. Through this partnership, we’re amplifying a curated trail of wellbeing-focused sessions, inclusive experiences, and moments of calm and connection across the show’s programme.
From workplace yoga and breath-led movement, to thought-provoking panels on neurodiversity and mental health — We’re building in breathing space. We’re creating anchors. And we’re helping people reconnect with themselves, not just their schedules.
You’ll find us in sessions like:
- Move, Breathe, Thrive
- Networking That Works (for Introverts)
- Neurodiverse Inclusive Guidelines for the Event Industry
- From Burnout to Balance
- And of course, our closing Decompression Session on Thursday at 15:20
Because how we leave an event matters just as much as how we show up.
Why It Matters
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: mental health is not a side note. Inclusion is not optional. And wellbeing isn’t something we get to when the work is done — it is the work.
By anchoring Event Wellbeing Week inside one of the industry’s most important shows, we’re not just offering tools and ideas — we’re inviting a cultural reset. A reclaiming. A pause with purpose.
This partnership gives us the platform to remind our industry: There’s another way to do this. A kinder way. A more human way. A way that works.

Let’s press pause — together.
Let’s make rest a ritual, not a rescue.
And let’s build an events industry where wellbeing is the baseline, not the bonus.
