Welcome to the WE Local Pune CFP Breakout Session Submission Site

In December 2026, Society of Women Engineers (SWE) will offer a WE Local conference in Pune, India. We at SWE are committed to making this WE Local conference, like all our programming, a safe and welcoming environment for all participants. Our goals in this WE Local Pune (WELPune26) Call for Participation (CFP) for Breakout Sessions (Lectures, Panels, and Snap Sessions) are: to ensure effective programming and speaking opportunities are provided, and to empower attendees to succeed at every stage of their professional development.
