Networks and what works for STEAM Science Technology Engineering Art and Ms, from School to Boardroom?

An event for Women, Allies and including Men in the conversation, in association with WISE and STEM Accord.

What is it?

An event for Frank conversations and action to share, explore and accelerate, action and ambition for better work for everyone + better workplaces, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. And we’ve included Art, because the creative and digital opportunities are colliding, and we want to make our efforts as visual, interesting and accessible as possible.

Interactive exhibition – have your say and put your programme/action/idea/or question on the map – alongside the main facts and challenges and solutions.
