Preconference Special Event

If you’re near campus the night before the conference and want to get a head start on your engagement experience, the Purdue Women’s Network is hosting a networking gathering at the Boiler Up Bar in the Purdue Memorial Union from 6 to 10 p.m. on June 16.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet and connect with Purdue women before the conference begins. Attendees are responsible for their own food and drinks. Space is limited.

Interested? You can sign up for this free gathering as an add-on when you register for the conference.
