Naval Academy Science and Engineering Conference Details?

I've heard about the Naval Academy's Science and Engineering Conference and I'm really interested in participating. Can someone provide details on when it's usually held and how I might be able to attend?

The United States Naval Academy typically hosts the Science and Engineering Conference each fall. It is a national event that gathers students and faculty from colleges and universities all across the United States. The goal of the conference is to stimulate a dialog on the critical scientific and engineering challenges that we as a society face, and the role that science and technology can play in addressing these challenges.

Participation is usually by invitation only. It's not something that you can apply to directly or purchase tickets for. To be considered for an invitation, the university or college you attend needs to be a part of the Naval Academy's network. The professors or department chairpersons from your school are usually the ones who get contacted about the event, and they then choose a certain number of students to represent the school. If your school is within the network and you're interested in attending, it would be beneficial for you to express your interest to your professors or academic advisor to see if they can help.

Once invited, all you have to do is respond to the invitation before the deadline specified and follow the procedures required by the conference organizers. The conference usually covers the cost of lodging, food, and transportation costs, but it can be case-dependent so it's advisable to confirm these details beforehand.

Keep in mind that the conference can be an enlightening and inspiring experience for science and engineering students, fostering dialog about scientific, technological and engineering challenges faced globally. It's also a great networking opportunity! You'll be able to connect with, learn from, and collaborate with other like-minded students, as well as professionals in the field.
