Technical Program Available for 2024 Women in ASHRAE Leadership Symposium
The technical program is available for the first Women in ASHRAE Leadership Symposium, set on the “Magnificent Mile” in Chicago, Illinois, Sept. 26-27.
“The Women in ASHRAE Leadership Symposium is a platform for attendees to learn from women leaders in HVAC&R, to foster encouragement and connectivity, and to help navigate an industry where we are still, all too often, the only woman in the room,” said Nancy Kohout, symposium chair.
The Young Women in ASHRAE EmpowHERment Award will showcase the leadership ability and innovation of emerging female leaders in the HVAC&R industry through a dynamic TEDex style presentation competition for ASHRAE or CIBSE members who are 35 years old or younger.
Finalists present responses to a prompt highlighting the importance of women’s mentorship and empowerment during the second day of the symposium. The first place winner will receive complimentary registration to attend the 2025 ASHRAE Winter Conference in Orlando, Florida, Feb. 8-12.
