Annual Conference - Society of Women Engineers | RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology)

Every year there is a SWE Annual Conference. This event allows various SWE sections to come together and explore opportunities that benefit both the SWE section itself and its members as individuals. Next year, WE24 Annual Conference will be in Chicago, IL from October 24-26, 2024.

There are many different seminars to attend: presenters will share information about developing a section as well as ways to develop as a professional in STEM fields. There is also a career fair with numerous companies looking to hire female engineers for co-op and full time positions.

Conference is also a great networking opportunity: not only will you meet professionals and hiring companies, you will also get to know your fellow RIT-SWE section members and RIT-SWE alums better!

Please reach out to sweeng@rit.edu to be directed to the conference coordinator to ask any questions!

Where and when?

WE24 Annual Conference will be in Chicago, IL from October 24-26, 2024.

How much does it cost?

The cost of conference depends on the location and the amount of fundraising raised by our section. The more social, community service, professional events you participate in, the more "points" you earn that may count towards being sponsored for conference. Members will receive an email with their tier level and equivalent sponsorship.
