Sofitel Barú Calablanca Hotel
Cartagena, Colombia
It will be an international meeting point for leaders, health professionals, and specialists committed to human and organizational well-being.
This year, we are focusing on those on the front lines: people who provide care, face crises, and lead under pressure. Their work is essential, but it also exposes them to emotional and physical exhaustion.
Our purpose is clear: to raise awareness, learn how to detect it, and apply practical solutions to heal those who care for others.
Purpose
Burnout does not distinguish between positions or locations: it affects all levels and erodes both personal and institutional life.
That is why this conference is designed to convey three key messages:
- Awareness: Recognize that burnout is real and universal.
- Prevention: learning to detect early signs in the body, mind, and emotions.
- Action: Adopt self-care, rest, and sustainable leadership tools, in addition to building more humane and productive institutional cultures.
Why attend the Third Ibero-American Congress to prevent burnout?
- Practical strategies for preventing and overcoming burnout.
- Conferences with experts and real-life testimonials.
- Networking with leading professionals from across Latin America.
- Tools for self-care, emotional management, and human leadership.
