The Emerald Coast Science Center will hold its Eighth Annual Women in Science Conference on September 17, 2024, at The Place on Beal in Fort Walton Beach.

The event aims to inspire the next generation of female scientists, engineers, and doctors by providing an opportunity for young women to hear from professional women in STEM fields from Okaloosa County.

The conference, presented by Emerald Coast Science Center and BAE Systems, will feature inspirational presentations from women in various STEM professions. Speakers include Stacia Hurt, Senior Principal Systems Engineer II at BAE Systems; Kristen Shell, Deputy City Manager for the City of Niceville; and Dr. Amanda Davis, Owner and Family Nurse Practitioner at SANE.Medical LLC.

Additional speakers are Natalie Sullivan, Technical Director and Microbiologist at Analytical Services Corp; Allison Beauregard Schwartz, Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research at the University of West Florida; and Cheylin Woodruff, a Marine Biology student at the University of West Florida.

The event, scheduled from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, will allow guests to mingle with speakers and other guest professionals. An open panel Q&A session will provide audience members the opportunity to ask questions. Light refreshments will be served.

While the conference focuses on women in STEM, organizers emphasize that everyone is welcome to attend, particularly middle and high school students interested in STEM careers.
