Meet the Speakers – Ireland Hybrid STEM Careers Event – October 2022

On Wednesday 12th October, we are running our Ireland Hybrid STEM Careers Event, sponsored by NetApp! It will take place both online on our virtual events platform, and in person at The Westin in Dublin. This event is perfect for students and graduates studying a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) related course, based in Dublin and across the whole of Ireland.

Alongside our event sponsors NetApp, we have 34 exhibiting employers taking part in the event. During the day, 8 companies will also be delivering live presentations on stage, followed by a Q&A.

Meet our speakers!

“My talk is titled “The colors of STEM”, and I’ll be speaking about my indirect journey into Data Science and AI as well as how valuable diversity is in the field.” – Lauren Burnham-King, Shutterstock.

“At NetApp we know that diverse teams achieve better results, and we also know that women and people who identify as women can be underrepresented in Technology companies.  It’s incredibly important to inspire and support the next generation of talent. Therefore, I am excited to be able to speak directly to the people at the STEM Women event about my own journey as a Woman in Tech, and why they should consider a career at NetApp.” – Tamsin Minton, NetApp.

“Autonomous Driving, how Valeo’s Galway based R&D lab is developing market leading products for safer driving.” – Catherine Enright, Valeo.
