Sponsorship Opportunity:

The AREF FutureGen Conference 2025

We are delighted to offer the opportunity to become the sole sponsor of our highly regarded 1.5-day conference, dedicated to the future generation of our industry. Taking place in September 2025 at Worcester College, Oxford, this event is a key date in the industry calendar.

The conference will host 90 FutureGen delegates and feature:

  • Four sessions (topics and formats to be agreed, which could include an inspirational speaker, a panel discussion and a fireside chat on Careers).
  • At least one site visit.
  • Networking opportunities.
  • Lunch, dinner, and a social event.

In both 2023 and 2024, the conference sold out and received overwhelmingly positive feedback from delegates and their firms. The event created a notable sense of enthusiasm and engagement across the industry.  View the summary, videos and photos from thes events here: 2024 Conference in Cambridge and 2023 Conference in Oxford.
