WOMEN IN LAB DESIGN
Lab design, construction, and renovation are industries where women have historically been underrepresented, particularly in leadership roles. Gender bias and stereotypes have created barriers for women aiming to advance in these fields. Recognizing women's unique perspectives and contributions is essential for fostering diversity and inclusion in STEM-related industries.
The Lab Design Digital Conference series presents its Women in Lab Design virtual event on February 26, 2025, a platform highlighting women's experiences, challenges, and successes in these industries. Industry leaders will share their journeys and provide insights on overcoming obstacles, navigating career advancement, and fostering inclusive work environments. These expert speakers will discuss a range of topics, from breaking through the glass ceiling to mentoring the next generation of women leaders.
Participants will leave with valuable career development strategies, tools for creating supportive work cultures, and inspiration to lead confidently. This summit empowers women in the lab design and construction fields and equips allies with the knowledge to champion diversity and inclusion in their own organizations. An audience Q&A with the presenters will follow each session, and the presentations will also be available for free on-demand viewing. Register for free to join this impactful event and connect with others committed to advancing equality in laboratory design and construction.
