SACNAS’ National Diversity in STEM Conference
October 28 – 30, 2021
The largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM diversity event in the country, the SACNAS conference is a gathering which serves to equip, empower, and energize participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM.
Over the course of the event, college-level through professional attendees are immersed in cutting-edge STEM research, professional development sessions, motivational keynote speakers, and the Graduate School & Career Expo Hall, as well as multicultural celebrations and traditions, and an inclusive and welcoming community of peers, mentors, and role models. Simply put, the SACNAS conference is a broadly inclusive space where you are encouraged and empowered to bring your whole self to STEM.
CONFERENCE FORMAT: SACNAS is currently considering all options for an in-person, virtual, or hybrid event that protects the safety and well-being of all members, partners, and staff. We have not yet reached a final decision and hope to make that decision by early May. All of our pricing information and exhibiting details will be updated after that decision is reached.
