We are also delighted to let you know that due to last year’s conference sell out, we have booked a larger room at the Royal Over-Seas League.

The Conference Theme Will be -

Does Hi-Tech Cause Hi-Stress?

Technology impacts on all our lives, so it’s appropriate that ISMA becomes involved in a debate about its far-reaching consequences, for better or for worse. We will explore –

The stressful effects of the 24/7 lifestyle that technology has brought

The positive contribution that technology can make, helping us manage our lives better
