Events

Join us on June 24 as we celebrate IEEE Women in Engineering Day with an inspiring event dedicated to empowering women in engineering and technology. Building on the success of our "Together We Bloom" spring event, this celebration marks the next step in our journey—transforming growth into action and impact. The event will feature engaging speakers, interactive discussions, and valuable networking opportunities designed to highlight the achievements, challenges, and future of women in engineering. Together, we aim to foster a supportive community that encourages innovation, leadership, and inclusion. We are honored to welcome our keynote speakers, Fatemeh Soltani, Senior Technical Lead in silicon photonics design at Ranovus, and Maryam Havakeshian, AI Data Scientist at Ericsson. Their insights and experiences will inspire meaningful conversations and empower the next generation of leaders. We are also excited to welcome two remarkable special guests: Miss Rocket, author and founder of the Try and Thrive Movement, who brings a bold, creative vision to everything she touches; and Tech2Step, an organization building inclusive pathways in tech by championing women and allies, driving gender equity, and developing the next generation of leaders. Whether you are a student, professional, or ally, be part of a movement that empowers women to engineer a better tomorrow. 📅 Date:  Wednesday, June 24 ⏰ Time: 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM 📍 Location: Hub350, 350 Legget Dr 💡Registration Link: events.vtools.ieee.org Agenda: Event Agenda – June 24 11:30 AM – 12:00 PM Coffee Break & Networking 12:00 PM – 12:05 PM Welcome & Opening Remarks 12:05 PM – 12:25 PM Keynote Talk – Fatemeh Soltani 12:25 PM – 12:30 PM Transition Break 12:30 PM – 12:45 PM Keynote Talk – Maryam Havakeshian 12:45 PM – 12:55 PM Special Guest Booth – Miss Rocket 12:55 PM – 1:00 PM Closing Remarks & Networking
