ANCILLARYEVENT · EVW-TT05 · ID: EVW-TT05

This Table Topics session is a small-group, interactive preview with Sandra Gesing, Executive Director of the U.S. Research Software Engineer Association. It takes place ahead of her Industry Room session at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, giving Summit attendees a chance to connect with her in a more personal setting before the larger audience discussion. Attendees will engage directly with Sandra on what research software engineers do in research teams, how the RSE community supports career growth, and the steps needed to prepare for roles in this rapidly expanding field. The informal format encourages candid questions, shared interests, and practical career insight.
