STM Annual US Conference

Welcome to the STM US Annual Conference 2024: we’re convening individuals and organisations committed to advancing trusted research — academic publishers, learned societies, funders, university presses, government bodies and innovators — from across the globe for two days of inspired networking, learning and ideation on April 24-25 in Washington DC. This year’s theme: A Report from the Future. See what’s in store.

Arrive a day early and join us for our satellite event: STM Societal Impact Day on April 23! Learn more here.

Do note the updated location: we will be convening at the National Press Club. A good bit roomier than last year’s location! This event tends to sell out — be sure to grab your colleagues and register to reserve your spot. 

Societal Impact Day

Join us as we explore research’s societal impact and the role of academic publishing in shaping a sustainable future. Here, we will convene for a full day of sustainability immersion where we will dissect effective methods to support research impact, and consider the role publishers can play in optimizing the interaction between science, policy, industry, and innovation. This is how we make a difference — together.
