Emma WilsonWhile we build a future in which our industry is respectful of a balanced life, of safety, and of good mental health, we will need to address technical advancement and changes to our working processes and practices. To this end I believe we need to stay flexible, open, and collaborative, and I believe the ABTT has a powerful role to play in fostering engagement and communication across the industry.
