Since the SPC/ExCom meetings immediately follow the WIE Forum, this is a wonderful opportunity to attend both.

Reminder that you were also sent a discount code for the WIE Forum East, which is a separate registration. Contact your region secretary if you cannot locate that information and wish to register for the WIE Forum East 2025. |
