The AISES National Conference has been held annually since 1978 and is an unparalleled opportunity to connect companies with over 2,500 Indigenous high school juniors and seniors, college and graduate students, educators, workforce professionals and our corporate, government, private foundation, nonprofit, and tribal partners for professional development, networking opportunities, research presentations, workshops, awards, and traditional Indigenous cultural events.

On Discover STEAM Day, engineers and scientists from across the city will engage families and Scouts through hands-on activities designed to spark interest in the scientific fields of STEAM.

There will be activities that allow children to engage and interact in the most exciting and meaningful ways. All STEAM activities will be fun and kid-friendly. Participation in the interactive activities will also be rewarded with a custom button at the end of your visit!

Every spring the seven Regional Conferences gather student and professional members to champion each other and expand their knowledge and skills through a wide variety of workshops and sessions.

Regional Conferences are typically held at college campuses, hosted by the school’s AISES Chapter. Many professional members participate as mentors and speakers, sharing their expertise and facilitating discussions in areas like engineering, environmental science, or on crossovers between traditional ecological knowledge and western science.

The AISES Leadership Summit provides personal and career development through leadership training specifically designed for Indigenous students and professionals.

The New Mexico SBIR/STTR Innovation Summit will bring together small businesses, Federal program managers, innovation ecosystem representatives, experts, and local organizations who have a vested interest in driving innovation through the SBIR and STTR programs.

Speaker: Seth Blumsack, Energy Policy and Economics Professor at Penn State University
