(In-person) Chart Your Next Move: The Cross-Industry BA Career Panel
Dec 02, 2026 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Are you looking to advance your career and wondering what the next step actually looks like?
This moderated panel brings together senior Business Analysts from entirely different sectors to compare how the BA role truly operates on the ground. We’ll be answering the big questions: what gets you promoted, which skills travel between domains, and where AI is actually changing the job.
Who this is this session for
- Mid-career BAs exploring what the next step actually looks like
- Senior BAs and BA leads weighing a move into a different sector
- Early-career BAs mapping out their first five years
- Adjacent practitioners, project managers, architects and change leads who may be considering the BA route.
What attendees will take away
-
Real, comparative insights: Hear live career stories spanning different sectors rather than generalised advice.
