WE19's theme was We Live, We Learn, We Lead; and that is exactly what six SWE-ECI members did at the conference! All members attended multiple sessions across the three days, Nov. 7th - 9th. Four of our six members recruited for their respective companies. On Thursday, Nov. 7th, two SWE-ECI members, Kelly Hentges and Kristen Wagner, along with three other ladies from PepsiCo, presented a session on "Five Different Perspectives on Creating Food from Seed to Shelf". There were over 100 attendees at this session! On Friday night, three of our Professional members got together with 15 Iowa Hawkeye collegiates to get dinner and socialize. To wrap up the conference, on Saturday, Nov. 9th, SWE-ECI received three Mission awards at the Celebrate SWE Banquet!
As part of a long standing tradition, SWE-ECI and the U of I SWE collegiate section had an enjoyable time relaxing and refueling at the Cheesecake Factory after a non-stop high energy day at the WE19 Conference in Anaheim, CA this past week. Between stellar professional development sessions, a massive career fair, and multiple thought-provoking keynote presentations there was no lack of conversation at the dinner table!
It was a great conference, and we are all looking forward to WE20 in New Orleans, LA!
