A Pause for Reflection and Growth
Since 2020, STEM CON & Beyond® has brought educators from around the world together for transformational professional development.
After five incredible years of connecting and inspiring educators, STEM CON & Beyond® will not be held in 2025 as we take a step back to reflect, reimagine, and recharge, with the possibility of returning in 2026.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey so far—stay tuned for updates, and we hope to inspire you again in the future!
