Our Events

Workplace wellbeing relates to all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how you feel about your workplace, colleagues and organisation. Generation Next will be exploring healthier habits you can adopt to ensure you achieve a balanced and happier mindset, to enhance your productivity inside and outside of work.

If you love the great outdoors, then join us on a light 45-minute stroll around the Wollaton Hall grounds. Get to know likeminded young professionals from the Generation Next network, while taking a break from the office to enjoy the park's surroundings.

Creating and monitoring budgets is a useful and transferable skill for young professionals – particularly those with ambitions to progress to higher management, who are typically involved in organising departmental budgets. Generation Next will explore the topic further in its February webinar.

To stand out from the crowd, young professionals and businesses need to present their achievements and skills in a positive way through online or face-to-face communication. This can be crucial in attracting new business connections and opportunities.

Join us to mark the launch of the Generation Next Awards 2023. From 11 January, young professionals working across the East Midlands will be able to showcase their achievements through our awards programme.

The Chamber's Annual General Meeting is a great opportunity to engage with the Chamber's board of directors and senior leadership team and provides an update on the Chamber's progress and achievements over the past 12 months.

Here at Generation Next, we aim to create comfortable environments for young professionals to connect with likeminded peers and build new business contacts, wherever they are on their business journey. Our Christmas Social will be an excellent opportunity to celebrate the festive season with fellow members and our board of champions.

In professional roles, you may be asked to present in a number of situations, this could be a small internal meeting, a wider company meeting, a large global conference or even presenting to your boss. Therefore, being a confident public speaker is a key skill to reaching your full potential.
