Welcome to Day 5 of Event Wellbeing Week
We’ve made it to the final day — and we’re ending with a bold vision:
A world where wellbeing isn’t an afterthought, but a foundation.
Too often, wellbeing is treated as a tick-box or a bolt-on, something “nice to have” after the budget’s been finalised and the schedule’s packed.
But let’s be real: tired, burnt-out people don’t innovate, collaborate, or lead well.
The future of events? It’s not faster, it’s not harder, it’s rested, regulated, resilient. Let’s build towards that together.
Why This Matters
When people feel supported, they thrive. When teams are resourced, they perform better. When wellbeing is embedded, not just bolted on, everything improves:
- Staff retention
- Creativity
- Collaboration
- Event delivery
- Audience experience
It’s not idealism. It’s strategy.
Workplace Implementation Ideas
✔ Start wellbeing planning at the start, not after the damage is done
✔ Embed rest breaks into rotas and schedules
✔ Design event timelines with recovery in mind — pre, during, and post
✔ Prioritise mental health training and neuroinclusion
✔ Lead by example — rested leaders create rested teams
Quote of the Day:
“A regulated nervous system is your superpower.”
