Conferences

As the University of Alberta is a member of the Western Engineering Student Society Team (WESST) and the Canadian Federation of Engineering Students (CFES), students have the opportunity to attend student-centric conferences to learn about topics ranging from leadership to sustainability as well as to connect with students across Canada!

The Delegate Selection & Oversight Committee reviews applicants for each conference and select delegates best suited to attend and learn from these conferences.

The ESS also covers 75% of the cost of WESST and CFES conferences, with the exception of the Canadian Engineering Competition where we cover 100% of the delegate fees and travel expenses.

If you have any questions about conferences or these organization that oversee these conference, please email us at essext@ualberta.ca.
