Another Record-Breaking SHPE National Convention! |
|
The largest gathering of Hispanics in STEM in the U.S. was back and bigger than ever in Salt Lake City, Utah with close to 12,000 attendees!
We enjoyed seeing so many members turn up for this incredible opportunity to grow their network, meet with recruiters, gain new professional knowledge, compete for bragging rights, and so much more.
While we're proud of the record-setting attendance numbers which reflect the need this event fulfills, we are also aware of the long waits and the growing pains that come with an event of this size. Your patience was appreciated and improvements for next year are already in the works.
We know you’re all eager to hear about the convention and relive the high points, so please see below for some of the highlights from this year!

Their selfless contributions through out the entire year are instrumental to making the convention a huge success.
