The Society of Women Engineers’ WE20 is now a two-week virtual conference and career fair going now being held November 2-13, 2020.
WE20 provides a platform for women in engineering to gather with like-minded peers, share innovative ideas, make connections for career advancement and ultimately make strides in recruiting more women in engineering.
“Based on the current status of COVID-19 and global conference trends, we’re excited to announce that WE20 will take place in a safe, all-virtual format,” said Heather Doty, president of SWE and aerospace structural engineer. “Over the span of two weeks during WE20, thousands of women will have the opportunity to make connections with each other, learn from the industry’s leading experts, explore new career possibilities and practice curiosity.”
WE20 will feature more than 200 professional development sessions, a four-day career fair offering both full-time and internship opportunities to female engineers at all career stages, daily yoga and virtual networking throughout the conference. WE20 registration provides access to all the meeting content for a full year.
