In May 2015, SFU hosted Creating Connections 4.0 and brought together people of all genders and backgrounds for two days to discuss issues of personal and professional development, networking, and inspiration. The conference created an opportunity for a meaningful dialogue about the participation of women in Engineering, Science, and Technology, and engaged individuals and organizations to create a world where everyone can explore and participate in the opportunities provided by engineering, science and technology to improve our world. Highlights included inspiring keynote speakers such as Shannon Susko, the Rt. Hon. Kim Campbell, Hayley Wickenheiser, and Martha Salcudean, as well as leadership development workshops, and panels on topics from career development to motivating people to care about women in STEM.
Creating Connections 4.0 is the 4th installment in the Creating Connections conference series, the most recent conference occurring in May 2013 at the University of British Columbia. -

Leadership Through Diversity (LTD) is a student-run group that was started in January 2012. The creation of this group was inspired by many of the existing Women in Engineering groups across Canada, and the support and involvement they provided minority groups in a male-dominated field of study. Initially taking after many women in science, technology, and engineering groups, LTD has formed to focus on diversity. Inclusivity is the main focus, so everyone is welcome at all events, with the exception of the women*-focused events like Women in Engineering Mixers.
