Robotics networking event. This morning session will be for those who identify as women and will give attendees a chance to meet other women in robotics in an informal setting. This event intends an inclusive definition of "woman;" we welcome trans women,
genderqueer women, and non-binary people. A light breakfast will be provided. The small group sessions later in the day will be focused on discussion and are open to all genders.</span></div>
