  • OPEN 2024: March 18-20, 2024

This can’t-miss event is the premier innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) experience for higher education faculty, staff, administrators, researchers, and leaders in the STEM fields. Our theme this year is Innovating Futures Together. What might the future look like for the next generation of I&E advocates and thought leaders? Is only one future possible? How will the disruptive technologies of today shape the jobs of the future? Who should be around the table working to solve the world’s most difficult problems?

We look forward to exploring the answers to these questions with you at OPEN 2024!

Our welcoming and inclusive community will share the latest trends in I&E research and best practices, while leaving ample time for you to network with inclusive innovation and sustainability changemakers from across the nation. Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in yourself and your institution’s entrepreneurial ecosystem!

I find OPEN to be a close-knit community of practice with great opportunities to forge connections for future collaborations, more so than other innovation & entrepreneurship conferences I attend.
