Hear from past attendees

It’s a great way to network. Meeting so many other girls and hearing their own stories and what they’re interested in and their experiences. I just loved hearing about what other people are passionate about.

To see this women-led panel of field engineers, construction workers, HR managers, vice presidents, I’m like ‘Okay, now I see it, I can achieve that’ because it’s just a visual representation of what’s out there for me to achieve.

Yasmine Raji

Howard University

At school, there are girls in my classes but not as many as I would like. It’s really nice to be around women who have the same career goals as me. We get to have interesting conversations.
