The Women in Construction & Engineering Forum aims to be the premiere forum for education, professional development and networking for women in these industries. We aim to break down barriers and build new heights.
The forum will take place concurrently with the judging process of the Women In Construction and Engineering Awards judging day.
The Women In Construction & Engineering forum consists only of panel discussions, in which the panelists debate the session topics, after which the audience/finalists join in. As a discussion-focused panel, the moderator would lead off the panel by putting questions directly to each of the panelists.
Attending the WICE Forum is a great way to network with women working in construction & engineering from all over Europe and an incredible opportunity to meet the 2018 European Women In Construction & Engineering Awards finalists and judges.
