GMiS Conference 2025
Bringing together students, professionals, and partners to shape the future of STEM.
October 2–4, 2025 | San Diego, CA
Great Minds in STEM is excited to bring our 37th annual conference to Downtown San Diego! Events are scheduled for both the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel and the adjacent San Diego Convention Center. The Hilton Bayfront is also the Host Hotel, with multiple overflow options in the nearby Gaslamp quarter available.
Our 3-day lineup of events for 2025 will see our familiar collection of networking, recruiting, and recognition events, as well as the return of our popular collegiate competitions. We will also be revamping our seminar and workshop opportunities into all-new STEM Talk Showcases, collections of shorter presentations and panels with crowd participation for larger audiences, followed by networking in-the-room.
