JOIN US!

Join us for the Women In Defense Virtual Leadership Symposium! With workshops, a panel discussion, and multiple keynote addresses, this symposium furthers WID’s objective of providing professional development opportunities to our members and others working in national security positions. Over the course of this one-day virtual event convening members of the military, defense industry, government, and academia, we will explore ways to create a more diverse workforce and strengthen American and allied national security.

 

WHY ATTEND?

As many professionals and scholars are currently conducting a large portion of their work from home, we aim to forge new and stronger connections between them and potential employers and partners. Our Leadership Symposium theme, “Leading Change,” ensures attendees will gain the information, strategies, and business acumen necessary to obtain their personal and professional objectives related to defense and national security.

Participating organizations actively promote, support, and advocate for women in the defense industry as well as actively recruit talented women for employment opportunities.

WHO ATTENDS?

In previous years, we have welcomed professionals working in industry, government, and academia as well as students, young professionals, and members of the media to our annual National Conference. As always, Women In Defense extends a warm welcome—to our organization and our events—to women and men of all backgrounds and ranks whose primary professional activities or interests relate to the national security of the United States and its allies.
