Event Overview

Imagine a virtual conference that brings together the brightest minds in engineering, a gathering of nine remarkable registered clubs and organizations (RCOs) that are dedicated to making a meaningful impact in your world. At the 2023 Vanguard Leadership Summit, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of each organization through enlightening panels such as "Navigating the World of Professional Development" and "Unleashing the Power of Technical Skills."
