Health and Wellbeing at Work 2024
Greetings and a warm welcome to Health and Wellbeing at Work 2024. I am delighted to be the new Event Director, and I can’t wait for you to see what we have in store this year.
I’ve worked in the events and exhibitions industry for the past 20 years and I still get that buzz from seeing them go from the planning stage to watching them being built. In a matter of just 1 day, a flat empty floor can suddenly transform into a mini city of exhibition stands and exciting feature areas. There’s nothing quite like when the doors open and the crowds start flowing in, creating an incredible atmosphere of face-to-face interaction and networking.
This year, brace yourself for an immersive experience that champions the latest trends in workplace health and wellbeing and please be sure to check out our website to see the fresh new features and experiences we have coming your way.
