SITE GB Young Leaders Presents: Next Generation Events

Keeping Your Cool
Navigating pressure, confidence and career growth in the incentive & events industry.

The incentive and events industry is exciting, fast-moving and incredibly rewarding — but it can also be high-pressure, demanding and difficult to navigate at times, particularly for emerging talent.

Join SITE GB Young Leaders for an honest conversation around pressure, confidence, imposter syndrome and career progression within the MICE industry. Bringing together senior industry leaders alongside members of the Young Leaders board, this panel discussion will explore how professionals at different stages of their careers manage expectations, handle stressful situations and continue to grow within a constantly evolving industry.

From wellbeing and workplace culture to resilience, leadership and staying calm under pressure, expect engaging discussion, relatable experiences and practical insight — followed by networking drinks with peers from across the incentive and events community.
