November 2-4, 2016 in Atlanta Georgia

Dear Colleague,
It’s my pleasure to send you a personal invitation to our inaugural Global Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Leadership Summit this fall, November 2-4, at the Loews Hotel in Atlanta, GA.

The summit is hosted by the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE), in partnership with the UGA College of Engineering and a number of corporate, economic development, nonprofit, and higher education partners. This is the first of its kind 2-day summit ever held in the region that is dedicated to giving women in STEM access to powerful tools, strategies and networks to realize their full potential. Four hundred women from all paths of STEM are expected to participate.

We have designed a very special and engaging inter-generational multidimensional leadership development program for you, with plenary and break out speeches, panels, fireside chats, round table discussions, and mentoring and networking sessions. We called on influential movers and shakers and thought leaders from academia, industry, nonprofit, and entrepreneurship spheres, who are predominantly women, to share their rich and enriching stories and experiences and how they shattered the glass ceiling everywhere and in so many ways. Our speakers and facilitators have written books, led major fortune companies, won big awards, founded companies and nonprofit organizations, worked across the globe, and appeared and worked on major TV networks.
