Networking Reception & Career Expo

Networking Reception

Strengthen your connections by networking with leading professionals during the evening Networking Reception, held immediately following the final conference session. Join leaders in industry, the military, academia, and government to continue the discussions inspired by the day's presentations.

Career Expo

WID is pleased to announce its first Career Expo, held during the 2017 Women In Defense National Conference.

More than just a traditional “job fair” WID is creating an opportunity for participants to discover the rich diversity of career paths in the defense and national security communities by engaging with representatives and with each other. During the evening Networking Reception, attendees will also have an opportunity to take a complimentary professional headshot.
