WEPAN’s National Conference is a lively annual forum for ideas and an opportunity for women engineers in academic, teaching, and corporate settings to share research and best practices that focuses on advancing knowledge, programs and expertise that improve the climate for and success of women in engineering. WEPAN's mission is to be a catalyst, advocate and leading resource for institutional and national change that enables the success of all women in engineering.

Sample content at a conference can include recruitment and retention issues, mentoring, science education in the schools, faculty promotion and tenure, diversity initiatives, policy considerations and similar topics.
