A huge thank you to our wonderful panellists for sharing their insights so passionately and candidly: Ayo Abbas Dessislava Dimitrova Rupali Sharma-Patel Sophia Chang and Andela Andric. It is a conversation our founder and panel host Tania Ihlenfeld will remember for a long time to come.

To our amazing sponsor, Hazel Whittaker founder of Curio Careers for your continued support for raising the profile of women in architecture.

Thanks to the WIA mentoring team, Karen Fugle and Dr Ana McMillin and our 2023/24 lead Tania Ihlenfeld, for work that making the WIA Mentoring Programme and closing celebration entails.

Thank you to Professor Igea Troiani, Chair of WIA, for welcoming everyone and for all the hard work you are doing, along with the WIA committee, to influence change in our industry.
