Conference Information:
We invite you to join us in-person this October in the city of Los Angeles, California for our undergraduate and national conferences. These conferences operate concurrently and participants will have access to both conference sessions at no additional costs. The conferences will be hosted at Loyola Marymount University (1 LMU Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90045).
BDN2024 brings together both world renowned and emergent scholars and professionals from the social sciences, STEM and humanities to function as a resource, a support system, as a space of intellectual exchange, and a place to create connections and develop collaborations. Our conference brings together hundreds of students, faculty, and professionals and features three-days of panel sessions, workshop presentations, forum discussions, poster sessions and a recruitment and resource fair.
