Testimonials

The Women in STEM Conference 2019 was electrifying. It is the most positive and proactive event I have ever attended and everyone left feeling energised and ready to take on the world.

Mechanical Engineer, ORE Catapult

Great speakers - a really inspirational day which left us keen to further develop the Women in STEM agenda in Northern Ireland.

Comms Manager Matrix, Matrix c/o SPD, Department for the Economy

This was a well-organised day, packed with challenging insights. When I first saw the programme, I couldn't believe so much could be crammed into such a short day without it becoming overwhelming. The speakers each brought something different and relevant to the day; and I was engaged throughout with never a dull moment. I made some great networking links which have led to me being in preliminary discussions with my regional STEM hub to organise a day to promote STEM careers to parents.
