Generation Next are teaming up with Geldards Network to host a fun and interactive evening designed to bring young professionals together through lighthearted competition and local exploration. Meeting at The Book Café at 6:00 PM for a welcome drink and team briefing before embarking on a trail of six fun challenges across Derby's local pubs and venues — with Carnero Lounge as your Generation Next mission control.

The Generation Next Summer Festival and Awards is where good vibes meet great people. It’s all about celebrating the East Midlands’ young professionals in a laid-back, festival-style setting, think live music, tasty street food, drinks in hand, and sunshine (fingers crossed!). It’s the perfect mix of catching up with friends, making new connections, and giving a big cheer to the region’s rising stars. A feel-good evening to relax, have fun, and celebrate success together.
