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.
Registration is closed.
Regional Innovation & TBED
SSTI’s conferences are the place to talk building research capacity, translating tech to markets, supporting entrepreneurs, facilitating risk capital, and developing skilled workers — all in the context of forging a stronger regional innovation economy through tech-based economic development.

Discuss Ideas
SSTI’s annual conferences are attendee-led events. We begin by selecting topics informed by SSTI members and then follow that up by designing discussion-focused sessions that allow you to learn and contribute to the conversation.
