I was presenting at the Aviva Stadium for the Eventprofs Summer Slam.
It was a PechaKucha style presentation. 20 slides and only 20 seconds allowed for each slide (the slides rotated automatically). Great fun altogether!

Promoting the wellbeing of employees can reduce absenteeism, increase attraction and retention figures, reduce health care costs and improve camaraderie and team spirit.

The theme for the evening is "Embracing technology in workplace wellness while keeping it human".
