Connect

SSTI’s 2024 Annual Conference is the event for practitioners and policymakers working to strengthen their regions through science, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. 

People attend this conference to meet peers from around the country, reconnect with old friends, learn what initiatives are working in other regions, and discuss trends that are important to the industry.

SSTI conferences are driven by attendee engagement. In addition to thought-provoking keynotes, the agenda will include open forums and ample discussion so that you can share your perspective and have your questions answered. 

Participation in SSTI’s 2024 Annual Conference is available for everyone—SSTI members and non-members—at the low registration rate of just $495, made possible by our work with EDA. Registration will close on Dec. 3, so be sure to sign up as soon as possible.
