London Network Event - Urbano Networking Breakfast Event on Sustainability in Construction

Urbano networking breakfasts give company directors, business owners, entrepreneurs, corporates, professionals and creatives across a range of sectors a chance to make connections, build associations, and learn from some of the UK's most informed and successful entrepreneurs, business people and cross-sector specialists.

Urbano speaker breakfasts are stripped down conferences, featuring great speakers, allowing attendees to discuss the issues featured in the guest presentation and plenty of opportunity to network with the speaker and the other attendees from all sizes and types of companies, from PLCs to SMEs.

THis event is being held under our Build community. We will also be discussing our new community Urbano Women in Architecture, Construction, Technology & Engineering (UWACTE). This community will further enhance our commitment to encourage opportunities between women at all levels who work for large and small companies in these sectors and beyond.
