🎉 INWED Toronto 2026 was one for the books! - Another amazing post

On June 27, SWE Toronto hosted our first-ever full-day International Women in Engineering Day conference — Build Your Path: Redefining Engineering Careers — and the energy was electric. 💜

An inspiring keynote, a candid panel, a hands-on workshop, and roundtables full of real talk reminded us there's no single "right" path — there's your path. 🚀

đź’› A huge thank you to our speakers, and above all to our Board of Directors and SWE volunteers. This day was a year in the making and simply wouldn't have happened without you.

This is just the beginning. ✨

📣Meet our MC!. 🎙

We're delighted to announce that Alex Matyas will be our MC for INWED Toronto 2026!

Alex is SWE Toronto's Director of Communications and Marketing for the last 4 years and is the Operations Lead for Upside Robotics.

Curious by nature and driven by building what's next, Alex is a Mechatronics Engineering Graduate and EIT leading Operations at Upside Robotics. Her career has crossed engineering, product design, business development, marketing, and operations. Over the past 6+ years, she has brought ideas to life across service robotics, wearable technology, SaaS, and Global travel —working with startups, global organizations, and Fortune 500 companies alike.

What ties it all together is a love of connecting people, technology, and strategy. Whether coordinating international teams, designing new processes, launching products into 100+ countries, or managing partnerships with clients and vendors across North America, she enjoy translating complex technical challenges into practical, people-focused solutions.

With a global mindset and a multidisciplinary approach, she thrives in fast-paced environments where innovation, collaboration, and adaptability are essential. She brings the perspective of an engineer, the organization of a project manager, the creativity of a marketer, and the curiosity to keep learning something new with every project.

She is super excited to MC INWED!
