One month ago, we kicked off the third annual Accelerate Conference at The University of British Columbia with an extraordinary Women in #STEM Networking Breakfast, sponsored by Telescope Innovations Corp.
It was a morning filled with inspiration, as conference participants connected with STEM leaders in a speed networking setting fostering new connections and sharing powerful insights into succeeding in STEM careers.
A round of applause for these outstanding leaders who took the time to share their journeys and guidance, creating an environment where emerging leaders could learn, grow, and connect 👏
