WIPC is a national conference aimed primarily at (but not restricted to) graduate students in physics, astrophysics, mathematical physics and related fields. In previous years, the conference was held at the University of Waterloo, the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University.
WIPC is first and foremost a scientific conference, in which early career scientists have the opportunity to present their work and to hear plenary talks from leaders in the field. Its intent is also to provide support to early career women, encouraging them to continue in a career in science. The conference provides participants with the opportunity to network with women in physics from across Canada, to facilitate the sharing of experiences, ideas and advice. WIPC aims to foster a sense of community and belonging among participants.
The conference will consist of a combination of:

1. plenary science talks by leading women in physics in Canada,
2. expert panels focused on topics of interest to Canadian female graduate students and postdocs in physics,
3. oral and poster sessions for scientific presentations by attendees, and
4. social events to facilitate networking and mentorship of participants.
