IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Summits (ILS) provide regional opportunities to foster networking, mentorship, and collaboration. With the leadership and creativity of IEEE WIE volunteers, WIE Summits have been extremely successful and have made an outstanding impact on communities around the globe!
Experience a day full of insightful talks from distinguished speakers, interactive workshops, networking opportunities, and much more. There will also be an optional Welcome Reception and networking event at WSU’s Wine Science Center in Richland, Washington.
The ILS serves as a valuable platform for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including women in STEM, to enhance their skills and forge meaningful connections with like-minded professionals. Building on the success of the 2019 events, which attracted nearly 400 attendees, we aspire to expand the reach to 600 attendees this year.
