IEEE WV Section WIE Day Celebration

The Fourth Industrial Revolution heralds a transformative era where the fusion of advanced technologies erases the boundaries between the physical, digital, and biological realms. Artificial Intelligence (AI), with its sophisticated algorithms and neural network simulations, is at the forefront of this revolution, reshaping industries and societal norms. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) West Virginia Section, and its Women in Engineering (WIE) affinity group, invite you to an engaging event on July 9, 2024, in South Charleston. This gathering is part of the IEEE WIE Day 2024 celebrations, aligning with the ‘International Women in Engineering Day’ to foster discussions on “Engaging More Women in AI and 4IR Technologies.” The celebration will feature networking opportunities, a dinner, and a panel discussion at the Olive Tree Cafe. The event begins at 5:30 pm and ends at 7:30 pm. Your presence and that of your guest will greatly enrich the conversation and contribute to a diverse and inclusive future in technology.
