the conference...

feminPEM is a unique conference - it's nothing like the academic, clinically-focused conferences that you've attended in the past! The conference format is intended to maximize community, friendship, and shared experience

TED-style speakers

Ten of your peers will take the stage, one-by-one, to share their stories of resilience, innovation, independence, and more

Breakout Sessions

Small group sessions will focus on practical, actionable skills and topics, leaving participants energized and equipped to return to their home institutions

Creativity & Connections

Back by popular demand! We will take a break after lunch for "adult recess," where conference participants can let loose and get creative with new friends and old!
