The IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Conference (WIE ILC) is seeking submissions for speakers for the 2025 conference.

The conference will be held 15-16 May 2025, at the Signia by Hilton, in San Jose, California.

IEEE WIE ILC attendees are mid-to senior-level professional women in technology seeking to advance their leadership skills and network with other professionals.

We want the talks to reflect information or skills that our attendees need to improve their lives, whether that improvement is a new technical, management, or organizational skill. We also want our speakers to be as diverse and inclusive as our audience so that our attendees can see themselves in the program and as future WIE ILC speakers.

If you have any questions regarding the program, please email [email protected].
