13th Annual oSTEM Conference

We are very excited to see our members at this year's Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA from November 9-12, 2023! The conference is a space designed for attendees to share their professional and personal experiences and learn from one another in an authentic and vulnerable way. Programs and content range from introspective (e.g., safer spaces to talk about queer issues and career development) to technical (e.g., discussing the latest in research conducted by our members). The Career & Graduate School Expo allows attendees to connect and network with professionals, academics, and colleagues from STEM industries and universities.
