GirlCon Chicago is an annual Chicago-based event that is taking place in mid-July. Due to the circumstances, it will be virtual this year. GirlCon has breakout sessions from numerous companies that the attendees will have the opportunity to learn from and make connections with. We focus on how technology is a huge factor in EVERY career field, whether it be science, fashion, or anything that students are passionate about. The lack of diversity in STEM is a big issue that everyone on the GirlCon team is striving to fix. The attendees will have a chance to personally connect with companies from many different career paths and gain advice from women in both college and the workforce.
STEMs is a New York based conference spearheaded by students from the Horace Mann School that aims to empower young women to pursue STEM. As women only make up 24% of the STEM workforce, STEMs believes it is imperative that women take up equal space in developing the scientific and technological innovations that will shape our future. Due to the ever-changing situation with the coronavirus, the conference will be held virtually on Saturday, October 10, 2020 from 12:00-4:00 pm EST. The online event will feature powerful female keynote speakers who are leaders in STEM fields and a panel with female executives from pioneering technology companies, such as Amazon and Mastercard. Attendees will also have the opportunity to connect with and hear from upcoming and prominent female computer scientists. Through STEMs, we hope to collectively take meaningful strides toward a future defined by gender equality in STEM.
