Conference presenters include careers from both traditional and non-traditional fields in Math and Science for women.  It is exciting to note that students who have previously attended the conference are now presenting in their chosen career field and parents of former student attendees are presenting, too.

Major corporate sponsors who provide funding for the conference include Micron, Lockheed Martin, ProChain Solutions, NOVA SySTEMic, Aurora Flight Sciences, and NOVEC.  You can see more on the conference’s website:
