Every year, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) features some of the brightest minds in engineering to keynote the annual conference. This year’s conference in New Orleans was the best yet.
At this year’s WE25 conference, we sat down with all three of the keynote speakers after their presentations for a brief Q&A session, where they shared their insights on what’s happening in engineering and their advice for women professionals and students in the industry, as well as their own journeys.
Questions were pulled from audience submissions through the WE25 mobile app.
Watch their interviews below and revisit their inspiring keynotes from the annual conference available in SWE’s Advance Learning Center free of charge.
