Women in Engineering at ICOPS 2026

Monday, June 22nd - 12:30pm

The Women in Engineering Networking Event is designed to foster meaningful connections, peer support, and open dialogue among gender minorities in plasma science. The event creates an inclusive space for participants across all career stages to connect, share experiences, and build community within the field.

Through guided small-group discussions, attendees will explore common challenges, opportunities for growth, and potential pathways toward greater equity and inclusion. The format intentionally encourages engagement across career levels to promote mentorship, knowledge exchange, and broader perspectives.

Insights and themes emerging from the conversations will be captured and shared with the broader ICOPS community, reinforcing IEEE’s commitment to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.

*This event is open to all registered conference attendees but pre-registration for this specific event is required due to limited space capacity. There is no cost to attend, and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached during the conference registration process. Early registration is encouraged to secure a spot.
