Designing Parenthood

Women in Consulting Engineering (WCE) Calgary, in partnership with Building Equality in Architecture (BEA) and Women in City Building, is excited to present our upcoming panel Designing Parenthood: Building Careers While Raising Families sponsored by DIALOG.

In project-based industries such as engineering, architecture and planning, career progression and parenthood often intersect in complex ways. This panel brings together professionals and leaders from across disciplines and stages of parenthood, to share candid insights on returning from parental leave, sustainable support strategies over various career and family stages, and how organizations can balance operational demands with the needs of their people.

Whether you're a parent looking to feel seen, someone considering parenthood in the future, or a leader who supports and manages parents on your team, this conversation is for you. The panel will surface the real, everyday challenges of building a career while raising a family and highlight what meaningful balance can look like in practice.

Attendees will have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, learn from parents navigating similar career paths, and make new connections over drinks and appetizers.

Time: Doors open at 5:30 PM, panel starts at 6:00 PM
Location: Dialog Design Studio, Suite 300 - 134 11 Ave SE
Ticket Includes: Drinks and light refreshments
