Iain Morrison - Beyond Burnout: The True Cost of Event Excellence

With over 35 years in the event industry, Iain Morrison has seen the effect the industry can have on people first-hand. This week on EventNewsDXB, the founder of The Imagination Collaborative opens up about the pressures facing today’s event professionals - from resource cuts to unrealistic timelines and the silent mental health toll that comes with them.

Iain shares his own experiences with burnout, why the industry’s "just push through" mindset no longer works and why he's not afraid to speak up and get the conversation started. Iain shares his own journey, the patterns he’s noticed across the sector and how leaders can take practical steps to create healthier working environments - from better planning and structure to simply giving people the space to speak up.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling the pressure, anyone leading a team, or anyone who believes there’s a better way to deliver great events -without burning out in the process.
