The 2025 GMiS Conference will be held in downtown San Diego near the historic Gaslamp Quarter. The Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel is the host hotel for all guests. It is also the site for all events and sessions, with the exception of the Career & Graduate Fair which will take place at the world-famous San Diego Convention Center, conveniently located across the street from the hotel.

GMiS Announces 37th Class of Professional Award Winners

Established in 1989 to honor world-class engineers, scientists and technology professionals to highlight their world-class
contributions in the STEM fields, the HENAAC Awards have become synonymous with excellence.

All honorees will be honored at the 37th Annual GMiS Conference.

Great Minds in STEM is excited to bring our 37th annual conference to Downtown San Diego! Events are scheduled for both the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel and the adjacent San Diego Convention Center. The Hilton Bayfront is also the Host Hotel, with multiple overflow options in the nearby Gaslamp quarter available.

Our 3-day lineup of events for 2025 will see our familiar collection of networking, recruiting, and recognition events, as well as the return of our popular collegiate competitions. We will also be revamping our seminar and workshop opportunities into all-new STEM Talk Showcases, collections of shorter presentations and panels with crowd participation for larger audiences, followed by networking in-the-room.
