Join us on 24 June in Manchester at WSP’s offices, as the Women in ITS group celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, a day that focuses on providing female engineers around the world with a more visible profile and encourage more young women and girls to take up engineering careers.

We will be exploring some key themes around female leadership, including presentations on a dedicated female leadership initiative at a large consultancy, as well as technical insights from the public sector.

We have some excellent speakers lined up from TRL, National Highways and Transport for Greater Manchester with more invited.

Following presentations from our speakers, there will be dedicated time to ask questions and share your thoughts.

A working agenda is available below with further details to come. We encourage you register your place below, to avoid missing out on attending this exciting event!
