Announcing IEEE WIE ILC 2020 Virtual Series: Leading through Change

Register now for the 
IEEE Women in Engineering 
International Leadership Conference (WIE ILC) 
2020 Virtual Series!




We hope that the global IEEE community is staying safe and healthy during these times. While we were looking forward to meeting for the 2020 IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Conference (WIE ILC) in San Diego this year, the conference is pivoting to a virtual series, planned with our attendees in mind. 
The IEEE WIE ILC Virtual Series will take place throughout June 2020, offering 1-hour sessions, live panel discussions, virtual networking opportunities, and an on-demand library for you to browse when is convenient for you. 
The current circumstances have led to more challenges, both professionally and personally, for the women in tech community, and strong leadership is needed now more than ever. As a result, we've updated the theme of the Virtual Series to "Leading through Change". Our speakers have adapted their content to make sure it's relevant and worth you taking the time out of your already hectic schedules. 
Plus, the IEEE WIE ILC Virtual Series is free to attend! Registration is now open and we encourage you to sign up early and share with anyone you think can benefit from attending.
