Real role models, real conversations, real impact.
The WISMP Summit brings program participants and allies together for an afternoon of curated content, with a focus on tactical take-aways. We specifically look to cover content that isn't covered in school or discussed in other places – but is incredibly impactful to our mixed audience of technical students and professionals. While the event is hosted by WISMP, the larger global community of women in STEM and allies are encouraged to attend.
This YEAR’s Speakers

Early Career Panel: Twists & Turns
Sometimes the path to your career is a straight shot from University right into the job of your dreams — but for many of us we spend years exploring the path to the career we love. These three amazing women prove that it’s okay to not know exactly where your path leads, and to dabble along the way. This panel will feature Reilly Hayes, Dr. Kayla Lee, and Anne Pauley — all sharing their unique journies.
