This year at the SolarPACES 2023 conference in Sydney, with the support of the organizing committee (thank you!), the Women+ in Concentrated Solar group was quite visible and active.
We presented our group and its activities during the opening session, including gender statistics on attendees. During the wrap-up closing session, female topic track chairs also showed gender statistics for reviewers, session chairs and presenting authors.
Many attendees of all genders visited our W+CS desk to meet us and offer their congratulations and support, and to pick up our collector pin badge and brochure.
Some attendees have joined our expert database (welcome!) and shared a drink with us during our informal networking happy hour!
Overall we are very happy with the positive feedback we got from you, dear attendees. It was a nice way to celebrate our first anniversary 🙂
Thank you all for your support, and see you next year in Italy for more events!
