Episode 57: Creating Connections 6.0

In this special episode, podcast producer Vanessa will walk you through the Creating Connections 6.0 conference which took place on May 3-4, 2019 in Vancouver, BC. Creating Connections is a diversity conference focused on attracting, engaging, and retaining women and underrepresented groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). You'll hear the conference's knowledgeable and diverse guest speakers weigh in on panels including - but not limited to - "How to be an Ally in the Workplace," "Intersectionality in STEM," and "Being a Role Model." Vanessa also conducts mini-interviews with attendees who give insight into why a conference such as Creating Connections is important and what they learned from it.
