Our Mission
A Conference for Engineering Diversity
The mission of the Conference of Engineering Diversity (CED) is to empower and
inspire individuals from all backgrounds through professional development, community building, and meaningful conversations centered on diversity in STEM.
​
CED offers a vibrant space for participants to grow personally and professionally through engaging workshops, networking opportunities, and direct connections with leading companies and innovators in the field. It’s not just about learning — it’s about building lasting relationships, celebrating diverse voices, and preparing the next generation of engineers and scientists to thrive in Silicon Valley and beyond.
​
Through intentional dialogue and collaboration, CED highlights the unique roles each stakeholder plays in advancing equity and inclusion, encouraging everyone to be an active contributor to a more diverse, innovative, and representative STEM community.
​
We’re grateful to our incredible staff, whose hard work and dedication each year bring this to life each year, and empowers our students to grow, dream, and believe in their potential.
