NATIONAL CHAIRPERSON WOMEN OF COLOR STEM CONFERENCE

INTRODUCTIONMONICA E. EMERSON


» The need for the Women of Color STEM Conference is greater now!

» Women of color in STEM professions continue to be underrepresented and under-supported.

» The need for technical talent is growing faster now more than ever!

» The value proposition is not diminished based on the physical location from which it is delivered, or the medium through which it is received.

» WOC promises to deliver the same quality in Detroit and virtually.

We won’t quit because times are tough…this is when we RESET TO RISE!

WOC WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE FOLLOWING:

WHAT IS A HYBRID CONFERENCE?


» Hybrid is defined as something that is a combination of two different things.

» An example of hybrid is a car that runs on gas and electricity.

» We will present the 2020 Women of Color STEM Conference in two versions, each version merging at times to create a hybrid experience.

» Each attendee can choose which version of the conference is right for them.
