“Who in their right mind would let Stephen Drew host a few events? I can’t wait to see this car crash!” Wise words from a good friend.
The cat is OUT OF THE BAG! The lovely people who run the London Build Expo have invited the Architecture Social to host two networking events and three panels of the new Architecture Stage on November the 16th and 17th in Olympia Court, London.
At first, I may have thought they got the wrong person – although I am honoured all the same! Once the shock had subsided, I was tasked with picking the topics for the three discussions as well as what we will be doing in the networking events so that they are not boring.
“I don’t think Steve has ever hosted an event before?!” Ex-colleague who knows me too well.
So without further ado, I present the Architecture Social’s super duper Architecture Itinerary for London Build Expo 2022:
Monday 16th November 2022
09:30 – 10:30 – Mill about the event for a bit
10:30 – 11:20 – Join us to discuss “Jeff, Do We Still Have the Portable Ramp Somewhere in Storage?!” on the Architect’s Stage
“You better make sure the event is accessible if you’re going to give it the bigun!” said one of my lovely colleague. Well, it is. Cheers!

“There is no chance this is going to work. I can’t wait!” Quote from A friend who actually works in Events Coordination.
Turn up to our awards ceremony and become part of the Judging Jury and automatically up for an award in our interactive and destined to be an absolute disaster awards ceremony.
Who knows, you might just win? Prizes will vary from a pat on the back to the prestigious “I won something!” award trophy. Hooraaay!

Psst… Fancy a cheeky beer? Tell your boss it’s an important networking event, dust of those business cards and come grab a cheeky beer as the Architecture Social will be hosting a networking session at the London Build Expo’s Bar.
“Jeez, after that line up I’ll definitely need a beer” My partner who I am wroping into following me around with a camera!
16:30 til late – No idea, probably some tipsy shenanigans!
