"The Women in Engineering Forum at NECR was a great opportunity to meet other female engineers from other businesses on a relaxed level. It was particularly interesting to see and hear common experiences across a wide range of disciplines and ages. I really enjoyed the experience and would encourage female engineers to attend these events in the future."
