Beyond Academia Conference 2022

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!
