Future Leaders Forum

The Future Leaders Forum is an interactive event for students and early career professionals, offering practical skills and confidence to help shape a more innovative and inclusive engineering sector.

A Transformational Approach

Rather than following the format of traditional careers panels, the Future Leaders Forum takes a bold, modern approach, addressing the shift from access to equity and exploring the realities of identity, belonging, leadership, and systemic change in engineering.

Through storytelling, interactive technology, real time audience engagement, and open dialogue with employers and early career professionals, participants gain:

  • Authentic career insight grounded in lived experience
  • Practical pathways for progressing in engineering
  • Leadership development rooted in values and purpose
  • A sense of community, voice, and empowerment

This is not just about helping young engineers enter the industry; it is about equipping them to influence, innovate, and redefine it.

A Proven Platform for Emerging Talent
Launched at the 2024 AFBELive Conference, the FLF immediately established itself as a powerful stage for rising leaders. The inaugural session featured standout contributors such as Mimi Nwosu, Mo Taher, Ailsa Jayne Howie, Darrell Njogu and Emmanuel Afolabi, whose insights and stories set the tone for a future focused, high impact platform that continues to inspire and elevate engineering talent.
