Welcome to the W Programme
Our community of W Partners have told us over the years how much they value simple networking events as an opportunity to connect with old contacts, and to make new ones. So we’ll kick off the 2025 programme with a few hours of informal conversation over a few refreshments.

Spring Lecture
In the first of our series of lectures in 2025, we’ll be inviting a prolific and passionate speaker from the built environment to share their thoughts and experiences with the room.

Spring Speed Mentoring
W Partners are invited to put forward mentors and mentees who get together for an evening of learning and career development. Our speed mentoring sessions are open to 2 mentees and 1 mentor from each practice. Students will also be invited to take part when appropriate. On average, each mentor will have 4 x 15-minute mentoring sessions. Each mentee will have 2 x 15-minute mentoring sessions. This gives everyone the opportunity to talk to multiple people. Where possible, and in the interests of the W Programme’s core aim of supporting under-represented people in architecture, we encourage all mentees and mentors to be female or non-binary.
