As we wrap up the 14th week of the 150 Days of Canadian Women in STEM campaign, planning for the closing conference is in full swing. The social media campaign continues to introduce inspiring women in STEM fields, past and present, and the Canadian Women in STEM Conference on July 15th is your chance to meet some of them. The conference theme is “Success Stories and Strategies for Closing the Gender Gap” and you will hear from women who are working hard to do that.
This conference is designed to bring together women and professionals in STEM for knowledge exchange and as as a learning platform to support diversity and close the gender gap Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields. Delegates will have the opportunity to hear talks from industry-leading professional women, and participate in an interactive panel discussion about challenges and how to succeed in fields in which women have typically been underrepresented.
