The Icebreaker: WIE Forum East 2025 WIE/YP Social Meet-Up

For our 10 year anniversary networking event, we welcome you to take a bold step and come out to break the ice… literally AND figuratively! ❄️
YP & WIE Presents //
The Icebreaker Meetup at the WIE Forum East 2025
Imagine taking the step to meet the colleagues, partners, and friends you've yet to meet…
❄️ Exercising Newton's Laws of motion at Pentagon Row Outdoor Ice Skating Rink at National Landing
❄️ Hanging out with the members of IEEE's Women In Engineering, student groups, and Young Professionals
❄️ Connecting over hot cocoa and conversations that spark collaborations, friendships, connections
❄️ Breaking for food at one of the many eateries surrounding the rink
Because the best professional connections happen when you're having genuine fun together! 🎉
Think you can balance equations AND stay upright on skates? 😄 Don't worry – falling down and getting back up is just good leadership practice!
Registration includes 3-hour admission and skate rentals. Event runs from 7pm – 9pm. The ice skating rink is located steps away from the Ritz Carlton, on the same block. (See the location in the event details below.)
And, if ice skating is not your thing, and you would rather just hang out and chill, that's alright too!
No ice skating is necessary to enjoy camaraderie and hot chocolates.
Just make sure to register and select the option that's right for you.
Note: WIE Forum attendees staying at the hotel can meet at the hotel lobby at 6:45pm. We will walk over together at 7pm.
Sponsored by WIE, IEEE YP, & IEEE Foundation, whose generosity makes this possible. Thank you!
