IAM NxtGen Career Pathways

Designed specifically for the next generation of asset management professionals, this networking and educational event aims to demystify the journey toward professional accreditation. Whether you are a recent graduate or a professional looking to transition into the field, this session in the heart of Liverpool offers a clear roadmap. The Institute of Asset Management (IAM) recognizes that the future of the profession depends on diverse talent; therefore, this event focuses on identifying the core competencies required to excel in sectors ranging from utilities to transportation.

The event kicks off with a series of lightning talks from established leaders in the North West who have successfully navigated the path to MIAM and AMP status. They will share personal anecdotes, including the hurdles they faced and the strategies they used to build their professional portfolios. Following the talks, a "speed-mentoring" session allows attendees to have one-on-one conversations with experts in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. This format is designed to foster genuine connections and provide practical advice on certification, training, and networking. The afternoon concludes with a panel discussion on the evolving role of the asset manager, emphasizing the need for soft skills such as leadership and stakeholder communication alongside technical proficiency. It is a unique opportunity for young professionals in Liverpool to build a support network that will sustain their careers for decades to come.
