Two-day gathering offers technical insights and practical careers advice for students worldwide.

The CIOB Student Festival is taking place on 9 and 10 March. This two-day event, now in its second year, brings CIOB student members from across the world into one virtual space. The purpose is to inspire, inform and celebrate student members. 

Those attending can expect to take away meaningful messages from a diverse community at varying points of the career spectrum. They will be able to benefit from technical and practical insights, professional points of view and personal wisdom relating to future careers otherwise not accessible in one space.

The festival is themed, with headliners including: 

  • Industry leaders – thoughts, opinions and wisdom from leaders in the sector.
  • Global careers – a spotlight on career perspectives from global organisations in all areas of construction.
  • Learning essentials – student takeaways ranging from discovering dissertation tips to LinkedIn essentials to landing your next job.
  • Tomorrow’s Leaders – early career and future leaders.
  • Student wellbeing – looking after number one. 
  • Networking – making professional contacts, building likeminded connections from across the globe and getting ahead.
