Now is the time to submit your applications to participate more fully in the upcoming WE Local conferences! Currently, all the conferences are scheduled to be in person (last updated Aug 2021). Since the conferences are intended to be small, networking and meeting with potential employers is easier than at a larger conference.
WE Local Albuquerque, NM: February 25-26, 2022
WE Local Des Moines, IA: March 4-5, 2022
WE Local Buffalo, NY: April 8-9, 2022
Consider presenting at WE Local and submit a breakout session proposal to the call for participation. The call for participation (CFP) is open on September 7, 2021 and closes on October 29, 2021. As a graduate student, you will receive extra points during scoring for the “unique perspective” not commonly seen at WE local conferences. Sharing your story or valuable lessons from graduate school will be invaluable to other graduate students, undergraduates, and other young professionals.
Alternatively, submit an application to present your research in the collegiate competition. The deadline to submit an abstract is Tuesday, November 9, 2021. If chosen to present you will also receive a complementary conference registration and travel stipend.
The WE local awards provide another chance to recognize your hard work. The deadline is September 30, 2021 and more information on the application process can be found here.
Finally, apply for travel grants, with deadlines for applications starting in November. Each of the conferences have their own deadline and separate portal for application. Grants will be awarded to dues-paying collegiate and professional members.
If you are outside the US, there are WE local conferences happening in India and England this year. The call for participation is through a separate form and the conferences have slightly different due dates for the CFP and awards.
