As part of our Land Condition Community we are launching our brand new Land Condition Early Careers Network - a forum designed to support those joining the sector by providing a platform to gain professional development, address skills gaps and help shape the future of the land condition sector. 

On the 21st January we will be holding our first meetup. 

This new forum will provide you with frequent opportunities to learn, practice presentation skills and network with fellow professionals in a friendly, supportive and accessible environment. Through this network you will gain valuable experience and CPD which you can later use as evidence of development when upgrading from Associate to Member.

This series of mid-afternoon meetings will be held twice a year in various locations around the country.

Wanting to present?

All presentation slots for this meetup are filled. If you are interested in presenting at a future meetup please contact Rhianna to reserve your space.
