PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED (See below)

VUWWIT (Victoria University of Wellington Women in Tech) exists to create a space for women and gender diverse voices in STEM. We connect students to industry by running networking events and sharing job and internship opportunities. We also organise social events to build our community.

WITCon is a conference designed to bring students and industry together to discuss technical and social topics surrounding STEM.
