7 Billion and Counting: Dreams, Ideas & Actions to Change the World

Join us in a live worldwide forum on topics for, by and about current and future generations of women in engineering and technology.

Imagine getting the chance to hear from women engineers from around the world. For four hours each day over a six-day period, engineers from North and South America, China, India, the Middle East, Africa, the U.K. and Europe will discuss critical topics of the profession—from how to engage girls and young women to consider engineering careers, advice on career paths and achieving life-work balance, to the benefits of networking and much more.
