Finding Your Path: Leading the Way in STEM
About
Whether you're just starting out or navigating your next career step, one thing is certain — no two paths in STEM look the same.Join us for an inspiring afternoon with four remarkable leaders across engineering, research, energy, and leadership coaching as they share their personal journeys, hard-won insights, and the lessons that shaped who they are today.
The event opens with a one-hour panel discussion covering career journeys, pivotal moments, and what it really takes to lead in STEM. Afterwards, join us for an hour of networking over food and drinks — a relaxed, welcoming space to continue the conversation, connect with fellow attendees, and meet our panelists up close.
