For owners & leaders of architecture practices: one day of clarity, collaboration & tools to build time, freedom and profit.
About this Event

Designing Success is a one-day event for owners and leaders of architecture practices who want greater clarity, collaboration and growth in their businesses.

Nobody really teaches us how to manage clients, lead teams, deliver projects efficiently, or build a successful business. Most of us figure this out as we go. The result? Many practice leaders find themselves overworked, under-resourced, and unsure how to create the space to think strategically.

The reality is that most practice leaders face the same challenges:

  • Constant time pressure and overwork
  • Recruitment and retention struggles
  • Financial worries and unclear fee structures
  • Lack of succession planning for the future
  • Little space to step back and plan with clarity

This event is designed to change that.

Across the day we’ll explore the essential topics that create successful, sustainable practices:

  • Mindset & Leadership
  • Health & Wellbeing
  • Vision & Culture
  • Recruitment & Retention
  • Marketing & Client Growth
  • Financial Health & Data Analysis
  • Succession Planning

You’ll also see the launch of a brand-new Project & Practice Management App, plus gain access to free tools and resources that will save you time and strengthen your decision-making. We will have Guest Speakers and Interactive Questionnaires, aswell as encouraging participants to pause, reflect on 2025 and plan for 2026.

Most importantly, you’ll connect with other practice leaders from across the UK. By sharing challenges, solutions and experiences, you’ll leave not just with ideas — but with practical strategies, stronger networks, and a clear action plan to build more time, freedom and profit into your practice.
