What to Expect?
Each 1-hour session includes a roundtable discussion led by architectural professionals, focusing on topics that matter to your career. Following the discussion, participants can ask questions and engage in candid conversations during an open forum.
The sessions will be held online and presented in English. However, when possible, French-speaking panelists and bilingual staff will be available to address French inquiries and foster inclusive dialogue. To maintain a safe space for open dialogue, the sessions are live and will not be recorded.
The date and theme of each future roundtable will be announced one month prior.
Who should attend?
This series is ideal for architecture students, recent graduates, intern architects, and newly licensed professionals.
