We also focus on the importance of Mental Health, with World Mental Health Day (10th October) and Mental Health Awareness Week (12th – 18th May 2025), as well as International Men’s Day (November 19th), which is a powerful reminder for men to take care of their own health and mental well-being.
The calendar below includes all these and many more occasions. However, we know there are many more important awareness days than those we’ve listed, so we will continue to update our events calendar as often as possible to provide you with the latest event news and the best topical speakers on the circuit.

Initiated by the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA), Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to raise awareness about cybersecurity and cybercrime prevention. The event advocates for the safe use of all technology and education on technological advancements. It’s about creating strong partnerships between governments and corporations to amplify our message and foster a greater “digital” good.
The NCA aims to make cybersecurity easier and more accessible so that people can enjoy the benefits technology brings to their lives without worry.
Whether in a professional or personal setting, cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility and being educated about online safety can improve mental well-being and life’s stresses.
