The IEEE WIE ILC Virtual Series was held virtually throughout the month of June 2020, which offered 1-hour sessions, live panel discussions, virtual networking opportunities, and an on-demand library for you to browse when it’s convenient for you, which can be found at http://ieee-wie-ilc.org/virtual2020/

The current circumstances have led to more challenges, both professionally and personally, for the women in the tech community, and strong leadership is needed now more than ever. As a result, we updated the theme of the Virtual Series to “Leading through Change”.
