BCO NextGen Conference Events
The BCO’s NextGen community continues
to thrive, with membership increasing by
over a quarter in the past year to exceed
1,260 members. Now making up a third
of the total BCO membership, NextGen
has become an integral part of the
organisation’s activities and initiatives.
This year, the active involvement of
NextGen members has resulted in their
seamless integration into the main
conference programme, ensuring that
emerging talent plays a central role in
shaping the agenda. This integration
includes seminars and workshops open
to all attendees, alongside exclusive
networking events such as the highly
anticipated NextGen party, providing
unique opportunities for collaboration
and connection within the community.

Alongside this, there is a dedicated

members. For early arrivals, there’s also
a dedicated programme on Wednesday
to help kickstart connections and
engagement within the community.
The Next Generation of the BCO workshop aims
to shape the future of the workplace. Through
presentations and interactive sessions, NextGen
members will share insights on key topics: desired
workplace features, technology, sustainability, and
culture. Participants from across the membership will
then collaborate to envision the future of the BCO and
the workplace sector. The goal is to identify innovative
approaches, strengthen collaboration, and ensure
the BCO remains relevant in the evolving workplace
landscape. Workshop outcomes will be displayed
during the conference and summarized in a post-event
research paper.
Galleria Meravigli
This informal drinks event gives NextGen members the
chance to catch up after the first day of the conference

This event will take place after the Drinks Reception at
Galleria Meravigli. With a special afterparty location to

Before the party kicks off, join us for a drink around the
area. Another opportunity to make new contacts before
walking together to the party at Superstudio Più. More
