Listen, Liberate, Elevate: Empowering the Next Generation

For the first time in two years, EQN hosted an in-person event as part of the London Festival of Architecture. We connected emerging talent with established leaders, providing young professionals a platform to openly discuss their future aspirations and the support they need to achieve them.
