    • 05/01/2024
    • 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM
    • West Fork Whiskey 10 East 191st Street Westfield Indiana 46074


    Bourbon’s origins can be traced into the hills of Kentucky as far back as 1789, a mere 13 years after the founding of the United States. What chemical reactions took place within that first barrel to transform corn whiskey into bourbon? And how do distillers put their own mark on the spirit today by rebalancing the equation and environment?

    The American Chemical Society (ACS), Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and Women & Hi Tech (W&HT) are gathering for hands-on exploration of the Chemistry of Bourbon. Meet us at West Fork Whiskey in Westfield on May 1 from 6 - 8:30 pm for a bourbon tasting.

    Light hors d'oeuvres, dessert, and two drink tickets per attendee are included with the cost of registration. This is in addition to small bourbon samples provided during the presentation to inform and contextualize our scientific discourse. We will also raffle off several gift cards to West Fork Whiskey!

    • Registration is $12.51 for American Chemical Society, Society of Women Engineers, and/or Women & Hi Tech members. Members of ACS, SWE, and W&HT may reach out to their local organizations to receive the registration code, or check for a message regarding this code in your recent emails.
    • Registration for individuals who are not currently members of one of the hosting nonprofits is $23.18. Any non-member parties may reach out to whtinfo@womenandhitech.org with general questions about the event.
    • Please note all attendees must be 21 or older.
    • Special thanks to the Women & Hi Tech Chemistry STEM Circle for their contribution to the planning of this event!

    We look forward to seeing you at West Fork Whiskey on May 1 for an exploration of chemical engineering at work! Please reach out if you need the member registration code and are a Women & Hi Tech member.

    Women & Hi Tech has a wonderful day of fun, inspiring and motivational activities planned for members and guests at our biennial Spring Networking Event! Please join us at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 15, 2024. 

    The all-day agenda includes a focused networking game, a panel discussion on the future of STEM education, and a powerful keynote address. To conclude the program, we will honor Women & Hi Tech’s 25 years of supporting women in STEM professions with a birthday celebration and tribute to the successes of all our alumni, who we’ve poured into, and our past and current Board members. Then, spend the afternoon networking with members and friends, watch race practice, and explore the garages where you can meet racers and their crews
