National Convention
This year’s SHPE National Convention was held on November 2-6 in Charlotte, North Carolina under the theme of Racing Towards the Future, in honor of Charlotte’s history with NASCAR. It was our first fully in-person convention since 2019, the worldwide COVID pandemic having forced virtual events for 2020 and 2021, and we had 8,854 attendees show up to the largest gathering of Hispanics in STEM in the U.S.
In addition to the tried and true conferences, events, and competitions of the past, we offered several new & notable programs.

Curated by the SHPE CEO and sponsored by Rockwell Automation, this new 8-session series inspired us to take risks when we normally would not, conquer the fears that get in our own way, and lead a fulfilling life of clear purpose, defined intent, and maximum impact. Speakers included STEM influencers, astronauts, CEOs, and leading experts on topics such as leadership, diversity and inclusion, technology, equity in the workspace.
