TechFest is an annual conference hosted by NM Tech Talks. TechFest brings together tech organizations to host various tracks under one, unified conference. This two-day conference will span tracks on Software, Artificial Intelligence, Climate & Advanced Energy, Entrepreneurship, and Tech Accessibility.  TechFest 2026 will span the Innovation District in Downtown Albuquerque, NM. This will spear-head a collaborative tech ecosystem in New Mexico. As with all NM Tech Talks events, this conference is free and open to the public.

The New Mexico Technology in Education (NMTIE) Conference is dedicated to inspiring K-12 and Higher Ed students and their teachers by highlighting new technology and its applications in education. Our goal is to bridge the gap between traditional learning and the digital future, providing students with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in a tech-driven world.Join us for a transformative experience where New Mexico students, educators, and innovators explore the latest in educational technology.

Students across New Mexico will have new opportunities to participate in hands-on research thanks to Spring 2026 SURE Awards from NM EPSCoR. The funding will support three projects centered on humanoid robotics, autonomous materials research, and semiconductor integrated circuit design.

NM EPSCoR has released an updated science and technology plan, developed in collaboration with the NM EPSCoR Jurisdictional Steering Committee, comprised of more than 20 representatives from New Mexico academic institutions, industry, national laboratories, and state government.

  

Presenters:Raisa IslamDr. Lorie LiebrockJessica Trujillo-TorresDescription: Join us to learn about an AI-driven framework that transforms research documents into structured, searchable knowledge to strengthen discovery and collaboration. Developed at NMT under the NSF RIO-NM project, the system addresses a persistent challenge in research ecosystems—the manual, time-intensive process of identifying related work and potential collaborators across institutions.

Earlier this month, more than 30 New Mexico EPSCoRians flew to New Orleans for the 2026 NSF EPSCoR Summit, held May 19–22. This year’s conference welcomed more than 600 participants and was organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.New Mexico had a strong presence at the 2026 EPSCoR Summit in New Orleans—showing up not only as attendees but also as facilitators, speakers, moderators, and poster presenters. 

Registration is OPEN now through June 1 for the 5th Annual Space and Cyber Summit. The focus will be on strengthening cyber resilience in space. This summit is a must-attend for professionals shaping the cyber-secure future of space exploration, national security, and advanced technologies.Learn more: https://www.newspacenexus.org/afrl-space-cyber-summit/
