A groundbreaking event dedicated to empowering and energizing leaders and innovators in the chemical industry, the 2025 conference will bring together a dynamic community of professionals committed to development, education, and networking to drive progress and shape the future of the sector. The inaugural conference held in Houston brought together nearly 400 women and allies in September of 2024.

"The inaugural Women in Chemicals Conference sparked a sense of purpose in me like never before. Seeing so many diverse voices unite with a shared commitment to equity in the industry drove me to join the WIC leadership team and become this year’s conference chair,” said Stephanie Folkmire, conference chair. “The conference showcases the incredible potential we have to create lasting change. My goal for the 2025 conference is for every attendee to leave with the tools and commitment to push current boundaries, challenge the status quo, and drive progress in the chemicals industry.”

Highlights of the 2025 Conference will include the following:

• Sessions and panels on leadership development, sustainability, market innovation, and changing the perception of chemicals.
• Interactive roundtables and conversations to support attendees in understanding best practices to navigate workplace culture 
• Networking opportunities for building meaningful connections with peers, mentors, and industry partners
