Registration is open for the International Women’s Air & Space Museum’s (IWASM) 2023 Wings of Women (WOW) STEM Conference.

The 2023 WOW Conference welcomes keynote speakers Dr. Claudette Owens, Electrical Engineer, and Cybersecurity Expert, and retired US Army Colonel and Chief Operating Officer of Veteran Victory Alliance Mary Miller. They will be joined by other women in natural and wildlife sciences, aviation manufacturing, aerospace engineering, astronomy, and more. Hosted at IWASM in Burke Lakefront Airport, students will learn about the women who’ve come before and have the opportunity to find the right fit for their future career and education goals.
WOW takes place on Saturday, 14 October 2023, from 8:00 to 14:00 EDT. Registration is free, but prior application is required. Participants will receive a light breakfast, lunch, a commemorative t-shirt, and information about colleges and universities nationwide. The registration deadline is 11 October 2023.
