Start your power play
University regional conferences offer opportunities to begin your rise up
Students can jump-start their careers with IISE's 2019 university regional conferences.
In addition to various competitions that allow the winners to present at the IISE Annual Conference and Expo 2019 in Orlando, Florida, attendees can network with and listen to speakers from industries, take plant tours to learn about processes and potential employers and start forming their own professional networks with other up-and-coming students.
