What is SACNAS NDiSTEM? 

The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics & Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) National Diversity in STEM Conference (NDiSTEM) is the largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM diversity conference in the country. The NDiSTEM Conference is a gathering which serves to equip, empower, and energize participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM. Over the course of the event, college-level through professional attendees are immersed in cutting-edge STEM research, professional development sessions, motivational keynote speakers, and the Academic & Career Expo, as well as multicultural celebrations and traditions, and an inclusive and welcoming community of peers, mentors, and role models. Simply put, the NDiSTEM Conference is a broadly inclusive space where you are encouraged and empowered to bring your whole self to STEM.
