“2024 has been another successful year for the WPA NextGen and it has been fantastic for the committee to be able to continue its ambitious programme of activity, championing the voices of the next generation of professionals in the sector. The hard work of the group has been evident in the number and quality of our events and the interest in our thought leadership work. More people than ever are benefiting from our NextGen network and content.
“My highlight of the year was the much anticipated and timely publication of our AI and the Built Environment report and the exclusive member preview, held prior to its launch. Over 130 guests joined the seminar at Arup’s fantastic headquarters at 80 Charlotte Street to hear from exceptional speakers on the subject, including Cecilia Lindström, Research Director, Future Places Studio who authored the report and Dr Wei Yang, Co-founder and CEO, Digital Task Force for Planning.
“Alongside this it has been a pleasure to collaborate with the CPA NextGen, releasing the sixth installment of our Diversifying Real Estate guidebook series on Faith & Religion and delivering our new workstream dedicated to helping our NewGenners further their professional development in the sector. We look forward to continuing this collaboration into 2025 and providing opportunities for young industry professionals across Westminster to develop and grow their careers.”
