Networking breakfast
Obsessive Connectivity
A business breakfast co-hosted by Norfolk Network and Norwich Business School.
In a world of constant digital connectivity, FoMo, or “fear of missing out” is a real social anxiety that is becoming increasingly common. It can cause significant stress in both our personal and professional lives.
How can we manage our own digital health? How can employers create healthier digital workplaces? Do digital professionals act ethically? These are some of the questions we’ll put to our guests speakers and audience.
Our speakers

James Gill, Head of Content at digital marketing agency Further, will share his thoughts on psychological dependency on technology and how this affects the marketing industry.
