Dear INWES members – FURTHER UPDATES 6th August 2023!
To make attendance at ICWES 19 in New Zealand easier for more people, we have in place a two-phased approach:
Opportunity for every woman in STEM
to join ICWES19
There are now multiple ways to engage with ICWES19 (the 19th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists), however busy your schedule and wherever you are in the world.
- In person
- The full three-day programme – or just one day if time is an issue
- The STEM diversity afternoon – perfect for senior STEM leaders and advocates
- The Shaping Space breakfast – ideal for senior secondary STEM students
- Add on a post-conference STEM field trip
- Online –
- Individual access to three days of keynotes and concurrent speaker sessions
- Group Watch access for education providers or non-profit organisations
The conference runs for 3 days at Auckland’s Aotea Centre, starting with a welcome reception on the evening of Sunday 3 September, and finishing at 5pm on Wednesday 6 September. Over the course of the programme, attendees will be able to choose from 28 concurrent themed speaker and workshop sessions, in addition to five keynote sessions, plus attend the celebration dinner and have ample opportunity to network with other attendees. Attendees can also sign up to one of the optional two-day STEM field trips to the Auckland/Waikato region or Christchurch post-conference. And if time is an issue, attendees can choose to come to a single day of the conference or to one of our two public sessions.
