Champagne & Conversation: Edition 3
Table Discussions on Mentoring & Diversity 

This time around the SUT-US Champagne & Conversation Series, we have gathered a roster of influential academia and industry leaders with broad experience in mentoring and who are strong advocates of diversity in the oil and gas industry.

The event will be tailored as table discussions from 2-3 sessions, providing a unique opportunity for direct conversation with the presenters. The first glass of bubbly is on us !

Young professionals and students are strongly encouraged to take part in this event to learn about relevant topics focused on diversity and mentoring in terms of soft skills.

The Women in Industry (WIND) task force was created to cultivate awareness on inclusion and diversity directly from academia and industry professionals. It's goal is to engage men and women equally in these Champagne & Conversation Series. Encourage your colleagues to participate in this upcoming event and get to know more about WIND.
