We are excited to announce that the WiCyS Virtual Conference will return in 2026, shortly after our in-person event. We look forward to bringing back our 28 virtual sessions with presenters live via Zoom on April 22 and 23, 2026.

Our virtual event aims to enhance accessibility and provide increased opportunities for individuals to experience the WiCyS conference content. Participants will enjoy access to five recorded keynotes and 28 live sessions on April 22 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm CT and April 23 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm CT.

With the success of our 2025 Virtual Career Fair (VCF), we are offering two VCF sessions in 2026—open to all attendees—on April 23 from 12:30 pm to 5:30 pm CT. We are also bringing back our early VCF session on April 22 from 5:00 am to 7:00 am CT. This schedule allows participants to attend the career fair without missing any sessions.

Interactive chat features will be active and carefully moderated throughout the event, facilitating genuine interaction and connection within our community. Recordings of all virtual sessions will be available for one month, empowering attendees to revisit and deepen their learning.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to connect, learn and grow professionally. Registration will open on February 25, 2026. Join us live from EVERYWHERE on April 22 and 23, 2026!
