Event Description
Do you support gender equity for women in STEM?
Do you stand for the next generation of women in STEM?
Join us for our third annual Canadian Women in STEM conference as we open dialogue on The Future of Work for Women in STEM.
The conference is designed to bring together women and professionals in STEM for knowledge exchange and career planning success that supports diversity and closes the gender gap for women in STEM.
Beyond your typical conference, this event creates opportunities for women in STEM and for the generation of women who are considering STEM as their future career.
We welcome men to attend the conference and be part of the solution with us!
The speakers at this event have paved the way to innovation and they will continue to inspire our future generation of young women who one day will be looking for female role models in STEM fields.
We will also have our STEMing UP students showcasing their skills through demos!!
