The Deep Dive: Starting Strong - Developing a Collaborative Attitude in Your New Team

This event is part of The Deep Dive: A Roundtable Series for Emerging Professionals.

Success in the architectural profession isn't a solo journey—it thrives on collaboration. Partnering with others can be your greatest advantage for innovation, sustainability, and career growth. Truth is, the most groundbreaking solutions don’t come from a single mind, but from dynamic teams bringing diverse expertise together to tackle the challenges of today’s architectural practice. 

In this roundtable, participants will have a unique chance to engage with experienced architects and explore why collaboration is a foundational skill to starting a career in architecture. 

Together, the participants will explore: 

  • Why collaboration is essential for emerging professionals
  • How teamwork accelerates learning and opens new career opportunities
  • How to shift your mindset from competition to cooperation
