Conference Programming Working Group
The Conference Programming Working Group works to ensure that the annual UTeach STEM Educators Conference serves the current needs of the network. The group identifies a unifying conference theme, creates session strands, and generates ideas for enhancing attendee engagement. This group recruits members immediately after a conference ends so they can work on the next conference. Potential group members complete an interest form. The group for the 2024 conference is already established. We will release a 2024 conference group interest form in June 2023.
