Negotiating with Strength

Mental Health and Resilience in High-Stakes Environments

 

Taking place online 28 February - 1 March 2025

The IGN e-Conference 2025 brings together professionals and experts to examine the often-overlooked impact of mental health in high-stakes negotiation settings. As mental well-being is increasingly recognized as fundamental to both personal health and effective professional practice, this conference will explore the role mental health plays within the negotiation field. Emphasizing the importance of open discussions, it aims to equip negotiators with tools to understand their own limits and potential. Through diverse perspectives, participants will gain insights into how emotional intelligence, effective stress management, and an understanding of power dynamics can enhance both personal well-being and negotiation outcomes. The conference offers a unique opportunity to explore the latest academic studies alongside best practices from negotiation experts, blending research-based knowledge with firsthand experiences. Join us to learn how prioritizing mental well-being can empower negotiators to perform effectively in challenging negotiation scenarios.

The IGN e-Conference

The IGN e-Conference is an annual online conference, taking place over multiple days. It is not an academic conference, instead aiming at enabling a conversation on negotiation-related topics between practitioners from different global contexts and with different experience levels. Every year, the e-Conference explores a different issue or topic through a Keynote Address by a noted expert in the field, as well as multiple interactive conference sessions that are focused on different aspects of the overarching topic. Through participatory formats such as workshop sessions besides presentations, the e-Conference offers the opportunity to expand participants’ network through a broad range of attendees from various backgrounds.

Conference Sessions

The conference will feature three main topical sessions which explore different aspects of mental health and resilience in high-stakes environments in greater depth. Each session will feature input from noted experts from the field. The sessions are designed to be interactive and give participants an opportunity to share their own insights and perspectives with the facilitators and other attendees.

 

Further details on the individual sessions, including details on facilitators and speakers, will be published on our website under 'Program' and on our social media channels.
