The next Women in Science and Technology Conference will be held in 2013.

 

 

What is the WIST conference?

- A one-day symposium focusing on career and personal development, as well as peer networking
- Inspiring, prominent keynote speakers
- Exciting and informative workshops, round-tables, and seminars for individuals at all stages of their careers in both academia and industry
- An excellent opportunity to network, develop new skills, and explore career opportunities with 300 attendees from the scientific community

Purpose:

To empower women in STEM at all levels to enhance their careers through networking, discussion of relevant career development topics, and exposure to a wide range of specialities within STEM.

As we enter a new decade now is the opportunity to make positive changes in our careers and lives.

Past workshop topics have been as diverse as networking, negotiation, and effective job search strategies to the business of science, end-to-end drug development and bioinformatics to research and teaching in the academic setting.

New in 2011:

A new peer-level networking session. Join a group of your peers (academic, early career, or management level) in a speed networking session to make new contacts, discuss challenges and solutions. Attendance to these sessions is limited due to space constraints.
