IMA is happy to invite our Training Partner Shelagh Donnelly, back for an interesting webinar on Cyber security for Management Assistants.
Think about just how reliant you and your colleagues are on digital communications, and the extent to which you and your family personally rely on various hardware devices. Cyber criminals (threat actors) are aware of our reliance on digital communications, and continue to evolve their practices. EAs, leadership teams and boards are specific targets and individuals need to be cyber aware. IMA Training Partner Shelagh Donnelly, who's been referred to as a cybersecurity whisperer, will provide you practical tips to recognise and reduce cyber vulnerabilities in both your career and personal life.

Noise-free in an open-plan office?
Many people still associate open office spaces with a constant noise level, loss of privacy and far too many distractions to concentrate on work. And all too often this is the reality.
But there is a better way. Furnishing professionals like designfunktion show us exactly how. Because open office spaces can also be a feel-good place with an excellent working atmosphere.
We have been invited to a short presentation by workspace analyst Natalie Zink (designfunktion) and an expert in room acoustics, Jens Victora (Schall & Raum Consulting GmbH), and to view the exhibition space at designfunktion.
There will also be plenty of refreshments. And there will be time for networking, because IMA meets ANiD!
The evening is free of charge. IMA and ANiD members have priority registration. The number of participants is limited.

Our moderator for the event Paulina Modlitba will lead us through an inspirational day with excellent speakers. We are going to talk about the evolution of management assistants in the digital era.
One of the first digital assistant, Siri, was introduced in 2011 by Apple, and this opened a door of possibilities for digital assistants in the workplace. Many have been asking themselves if digital assistants will outcompete management assistants in the future. However, the role of management assistants has always been evolving, and our organization has been supporting its members to keep up with new requirements and adapt to the changing workplace since its foundation in 1974. With the adoption of computer-based tools and the emergence of digital assistants, the role of management support professionals continues to evolve, and IMA is here to support you every step of the way.
AI presents opportunities for management support professionals by automating routine tasks, enhancing data analysis, and facilitating decision-making. However, it also poses threats, such as job displacement and the need for professionals to adapt to new technologies. Successful integration of AI requires upskilling to leverage its benefits while addressing potential challenges. This is what this conference will focus on and give both inspirations and insights.
