Engineering Change: Women Shaping the Built Environment
Wallacespace Spitalfields, 15 Artillery Ln, London E1 7HA
What does it mean to be a woman in engineering and the wider built environment, and how can we create a sector where everyone has a seat at the table?
Price & Myers and The Engineering Club are bringing together voices from across the industry to explore the experiences, challenges and opportunities shaping women's careers and to open up a wider conversation about inclusion, allyship and the part we all play in driving change.
Through a series of short presentations followed by open discussion, our speakers will reflect on their own paths through architecture and engineering - the milestones, the pivots, the moments that shaped the way forward - while raising the questions they believe deserve to be tackled head-on.
To ensure that everyone who wishes to take part in this important conversation can attend, parents are welcome to bring their children if necessary.
