Every year, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) invites some of the brightest minds in engineering to keynote its annual conference. At this year’s WE24 conference, we sat down with all three of the keynote speakers after their presentations for a quick Q&A, where they shared more about their careers, their insights and advice for women in engineering, and what’s happening in the industry. Questions were pulled from audience submissions through the WE24 mobile app.
Watch their interviews below and revisit their inspiring keynotes from the annual conference available in SWE’s Advance Learning Center.
