WIST x SOUNDINGS WEBINAR AND SURVEY
The Weight We Carry:
A Wellbeing Conversation
for Event Professionals
Event work asks a lot of people. The hours, the pressure, the pivots, the travel, the onsite execution, and then straight into the next one. Most people push through because the work has to get done. But what does that cost over time? This conversation, hosted by Soundings Connect in partnership with Wist, is built around a simple question: how are you really doing?
A COMMUNITY SURVEY
We will introduce the Soundings Connect Wellbeing Check-In, a community survey designed specifically around the real pressures of event work.
AN HONEST CONVERSATION
We'll talk honestly about what stress, burnout, recovery, and sustainability actually look like for event professionals. Not theory. Something practical you can use.

ABOUT WIST
Stress doesn't stay at work. It follows you home, sits in your chest on Sunday night, and shows up again Monday morning. Most workplace wellness tools ignore this.
Wist is daily stress support that fits into a real workday. You check in for 10 minutes a day. You get techniques grounded in Cognitive Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Immersion Theory. Over time, your AI companion, Joy, learns your stress patterns and adapts to what actually works for you.
