As part of the IEEE WIE Day celebration, WIE Day: Voices That Inspire is presented, an initiative aimed at strengthening the sense of purpose, motivation, and belonging within the engineering community, with a special emphasis on women's empowerment.

The event consists of a digital contest in which participants will share, through a video, the reasons and vision behind their decision to study engineering. The most creative video will be awarded a full IEEE Student Membership prize, which will be delivered during the in-person WIE Day celebration. This gathering will feature an interactive networking brunch and a hands-on workshop where participants will design and paint customized WIE flower-themed tote bags as a collaborative team-building and stress-management exercise.

This gathering will feature leading figures who will address the pillars: Innovate Responsibly, Inspire Globally, and Lead with Integrity. The central objective is to inspire and encourage the participation of women in purpose-driven technologies, fully aligning with WIE's global mission.
