What is WE 18 Conference?
15
Breaking Boundaries
● WE18’s theme, Let’s Break Boundaries is rooted in the notion that all women engineers, young and old, veterans, those in the early stages of their career, and engineers still pursuing their collegiate degree, are breaking boundaries both personally and for women across the globe.
● The conference itself breaks boundaries by being the largest gathering of women engineers across all major engineering disciplines. Facing challenges and breaking through barriers is something SWE has done since its inception in 1950.
