Beyond Academia 2025 Conference

Our flagship conference is a two-day event with around 100 Ph.D. speakers who successfully transitioned to non-academic careers in a variety of fields in both STEM and Humanities and Social Sciences. As part of this year’s conference we are hosting 2 keynote lectures, 11 panels and 7 professional development workshops aimed at educating and preparing you to transition to careers outside of academia. We hope to see you there!

Who:

We are excited to be able to open up our conference to grad students and postdocs from any institution again this year! All UC Berkeley grad students and postdocs are guaranteed a ticket, but tickets for non-UC Berkeley attendees will be capped to keep the conference a manageable size for our all-volunteer team to run. We thank you for your understanding!
