Earlier this year, we challenged our NextGen members to put forward their boldest, most innovative and creative ideas for the future workspace. Centring their focus on the requirements of the modern office, we asked for the most revolutionary ideas yet.

We received brilliant submissions from all who entered; the judging panel were incredibly impressed with the quality and the bold and creative ideas each participant had, and it was difficult for judges to pick out just six finalists.

Over the course of the last few months, our six finalists have undertaken state of the art public speaking training from Ginger Leadership Communications. This final event is the moment they have been waiting for. Each will deliver a full 10-minute TED-style talk to a live audience, where they can flex their newfound skills and share their thought provoking ideas with the wider industry.

The group have been supporting each other throughout the public speaking programme, and will have been on quite the journey together. To avoid pitching them against each other, there will be no overall winner — this is an evening to celebrate the achievements of our NextGen community.

All BCO members are invited to join us at Storey Club, 100 Liverpool Street, for this exciting finale, and to support our finalists as they put their public speaking training to the test!

Tickets include drinks and canapes, with ample networking opportunities before and after the talks.
