TIES Convening
May 1 – 3, 2023
In Person Only: Jacksonville, FL
This Convening is designed to afford us time to sit with the challenges that we face in STEM education and workforce. We are going to work together to build plans for world-class experiences in AI with AIedu and others, STEM environments that foster a sense of belonging in STEM, increased access for all students to careers in Data Science, STEM Ecosystems to experience authentic partnership with NASA, eradicating barriers to BIPOC student access to and through higher education, and so much more. We are working daily with thought leaders from countless fields around the world to design this event so that the topics of interest and impact are there. If you are opting to design deeply in AI, bring in school districts, community colleges and tech folks to be in attendance. Alternatively, if you are working on bringing IBM’s SkillsBuild to your STEM Ecosystem, invite local districts’ CTE leadership, community college partners, and advanced manufacturing or cyber folks to come as well. It is so important that the school guidance counselors who work tirelessly in your STEM Ecosystem districts be included as NSF INCLUDES Alliance, STEM PUSH Network and their STEM Ecosystem partners help counselors to understand the opportunities for STEM admissions.

23rd Annual Science & Engineering Technology
May 23 – 25, 2023
In Person Only: University of Texas at San Antonio, TX
DoD S&T has provided unquestioned war fighting advantages over 40 years through its unique combination of technology, innovation, creativity, ingenuity, and personnel training. One lesser-known benefit of DoD S&T is its contributions to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR), and Small Business Innovation Research program (SBIR). This year’s conference will bring Industry together with the Department of Defense Research, Engineering, Acquisition, and Sustainment communities to examine the investment priorities and challenges across the OSD, Components, Agencies and Combatant Commands, including top-level strategy updates from Component and COCOM S&T leadership. It will also provide a platform for communities of interest to brief and discuss their issues. There will be a focus on how the department is aligning its investment in technology to the National Defense Strategy and operational need – from technology discovery (BA 6.1 to 6.4) to capability delivery (BA 6.3 to 6.8). Special featured topics for this year will include the S&T needs of the HA/DR mission as well as success stories from the SBIR program.
