We are hosting a Confidence Workshop as part of the WIA UK Mentoring Programme. This online panel explores why “being more confident” is often unhelpful advice — and what actually supports confidence in architectural practice. Chaired by Rachel Birchmore (AreBe), the discussion brings together perspectives from private practice, public sector, online brand-building and early-career experience to examine how confidence is shaped by culture, systems and mentorship.

Join us as we celebrate the close of this year’s mentoring programme with an evening dedicated to reflection, recognition, and rising into what’s next.

At the heart of the evening is our panel event, Reflect and Rise – an honest and energising conversation exploring the impact of mentorship, the challenges faced along the way, and the personal and professional transformations that have emerged. Expect insight, inspiration, and some beautifully real stories.

We are pleased to host a Crossing Borders Workshop as part of the WIA UK Mentoring Programme.

Careers in architecture—and the communities we serve—are increasingly global. Yet stepping into a new culture, market, or way of working can feel equal parts thrilling and daunting. In this session, we’ll hear from women who have literally and figuratively crossed borders: practising on different continents, leading multicultural teams, adapting to unfamiliar regulations, and designing for contexts far from home.
