WIE DAY IEEE EPN 2026: "WIE Next Gen: Builders of the Future" is an initiative organized by the IEEE Women in Engineering Chapter at Escuela Politécnica Nacional, a space built for connection, learning, and inspiration, designed for students, professionals, and allies who believe in a more inclusive and socially driven tech community. Our theme this year is "Technology with Purpose". The event spans three in-person sessions, June 24, 26, and 27, 2026, in Quito, Ecuador. We're bringing people together to talk about leadership, to share real stories, and to grow as a community that's serious about getting more women into engineering and technology. We designed the program to cover different aspects of personal and professional development, and each day has its own focus. Day one is about social awareness, well-being, and the conversations we don't always make time for but matter to our communities. Day two is all about learning from women who are already out there doing incredible things in tech, cybersecurity, and innovation, real career paths, real challenges, real opportunities. Day three is where things get hands-on: creative challenges, team activities, networking, and the kind of energy that reminds you why you started. Something we're especially excited about: the whole event will have a gamification layer running through it. Attendees collect points across activities, which makes the experience more interactive, more fun, and more memorable. Between the talks, panels, workshops, and collaborative spaces, our goal is for WIE DAY IEEE EPN 2026 to leave a mark beyond the three days themselves. We want people to walk away motivated, connected, and ready to use engineering and technology as tools for real change. This is also our way of actively contributing to the IEEE Women in Engineering mission, pushing for diversity, equal opportunity, strong leadership, and support networks that actually stick. This isn't just an annual event. It's a platform, to connect ideas, inspire the next generation, put role models in the spotlight, and keep building a community that leads with purpose and responsibility. --------------------------------------------------------------- Event Details: - Dates: June 24, 26 & 27, 2026 - Venue: Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN) - City: Quito, Ecuador - Format: In-person - Registration – June 24: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/Jbdj1kwuaw - Registration – June 26: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/H6s2pREVxE - Registration – June 27: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/zjw4xFsLe3 Agenda: [] Bldg: Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Av.
