EVENTS WES Annual Conference 2019
More than 250 delegates descended on the RAF Museum in Hendon on 15th March, to celebrate one hundred years of the Women’s Engineering Society. With pioneering, record-breaking pilot Amy Johnson, CBE, a former WES President (1935-1937), the location perfectly captured the WES2019 theme ‘Celebrating the Past, Transforming the Future’.
The conference featured a fascinating archive exhibition showcasing the pioneering work of past female engineers and scientists and their rich legacy. Acknowledging the transformative contribution women engineers have made to society historically, Elizabeth Donnelly, newly appointed CEO of WES emphasised that WES was formed “not to be historic but to be pioneering - we need to look forward”. A display of cutting edge designs by young female engineers in the ‘Engineering a Better World’ Poster Competition, highlighted some of the innovations early career engineers are producing in industry today which will play a key role in transforming our future.
Keynotes, including an Inspirational talk by Mandy Hickson, former RAF fighter Pilot, were followed by breakout discussions building on key issues: Vision
for WES – the next 100 years; Men as Allies and Breaking the Mould. A key theme running through the day’s sessions was the need for collaboration and teamwork, promoting diversity and equality and sharing knowledge for best practice. A panel session highlighted the value of mentoring for young women in predominantly male industries.
To celebrate its centenary year, WES will be recognising outstanding achievements of women engineers throughout the world in its sixth International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) – just one of several initiatives that it will run this year in pursuit of more diversity in engineering.
