The evening is always extremely popular and in the past year drew roughly 80 students and 25 professionals. Due to its success, POWE also hosts a mini version of Speed Networking in the fall called Speed Mentoring, where we invite 10-15 professionals and about 30 students for more intimate, mentoring-focused conversations.
 
===POWE Conference===
By far POWE’s largest event, the Conference for Future Women in Engineering has been an annual event at McGill for over a decade. The event is so successful that we always fill to capacity months prior. During the conference, over 135 high school students from the Montreal and surrounding area come to McGill for a day to experience a microcosm of what it means to be a McGill Engineering student. The full day conference involves a keynote speaker, lab tours, student and professor panels, and concludes with a design competition. Year after year, we receive enormously positive feedback from both teachers and students.
 
===Industry Tours===
POWE visits many industries throughout the year. These tours aim to expose students to a wise variety of possible career paths with the hope of encouraging female students to remain within the discipline after graduation. In the past, POWE has visited Medtronics, CSA (Canadian Space Agency), Pfizer, Pepsi Co., IREQ (Hydro-Quebec Research Institute), and l'Oreal Canada.[[File:POWE_WISE.jpg|thumb|right|220px|POWE Delegation at WISE 2014]]
