What to expect
Have you ever thought about founding your own architectural company? Do you know how to acquire projects and where and how to participate in competitions? To cover this "cornerstone" of architectural practice, we will host an educational event to equip you with the fundamental knowledge.
What to expect
On September 24th, Cornerstone Business Development - initiated by students - will bring together architects, developers, students, and young professionals for one afternoon at the Royal Danish Academy to talk about this topic. The event focuses on what it really takes to start and grow your own architecture practice, from setting up legally and financially, to acquiring projects and building client relationships. Professionals will discuss key aspects of founding and growing an architectural practice. Alongside talks and a Q&A session, we’ll end the event with a networking bar including a Founder Speed Dating, a chance to meet others who want to start an architecture practice too, and the opportunity to learn more about business development by talking directly with the speakers.
