===Speed-Networking===
===Speed-Networking===
One of the largest and most successful events that POWE organizes is Speed Networking. At our Speed Networking event, we invite professional engineers to share their experiences. The evening is always extremely successful and gives students the opportunity to learn from, connect, and network with engineering professionals. In the past year, the event has always filled quickly and has drawn 80 students and 25 professionals. Due to its success, POWE also hosts a Fall Speed-Mentoring, where we invite 10-15 professionals.
One of the largest and most successful annual internal events that POWE organizes is Speed Networking. It is an evening of fast-paced discussions between female/ gender minority students and industry professionals that facilitates valuable connections and conversations that students can then carry with them throughout their careers.
 
The evening is always extremely popular and in the past year drew roughly 80 students and 25 professionals. Due to its success, POWE also hosts a mini version of Speed Networking in the fall called Speed Mentoring, where we invite 10-15 professionals and about 30 students for more intimate, mentoring-focused conversations.
===POWE Conference===
===POWE Conference===
By far POWE’s largest event, the Conference for Future Women in Engineering has been an annual event at McGill for over a decade. The event is so successful that we always fill to capacity months prior. During the conference, over 135 high school students from the Montreal and surrounding area come to McGill for a day to experience a microcosm of what it means to be a McGill Engineering student. The full day conference involves a keynote speaker, lab tours, student and professor panels, and concludes with a design competition. Year after year, we receive enormously positive feedback from both teachers and students.
