2026 NSBE Annual Convention

Dear NSBE Family,

It is with immense gratitude and excitement that I welcome you to the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) 2026 Annual Convention, hosted in the vibrant city of Baltimore, Maryland — located in the Model Region, Region II! As the 2026 Convention Planning Committee chairperson, I am honored to lead this legacy-defining experience, rooted in purpose, pride, and possibility.

NSBE has shaped my story in ways I never could have imagined. I’ve gone from a quiet girl from Delaware, unsure of her place in this space, to someone who now boldly carries the torch for the next generation. NSBE believed in me before I believed in myself. And that belief is what we’re channeling into every detail of this Convention. Our theme for #NSBE2026 is Advancing S.T.E.M., a phrase that challenges us to go beyond the acronym and embrace the four pillars that support our movement:

• Shaping the Future by leading in AI, green tech, and STEM education reform;
• Transforming Communities by dismantling systemic barriers and paying it forward;
• Empowering Excellence through mentorship, professional development, and access;
• Mobilizing Innovation by daring to build, lead, and reimagine the world we want to live in.

This year’s Convention isn’t just about programming; it’s about people. Whether you’re a student attending your first NSBE event or a seasoned professional shaping industries, this week is designed for you. Our team has worked tirelessly to create an experience that speaks to the heart of who we are: builders, leaders, change agents, and family. We are excited for what’s ahead — from our reimagined General Sessions and vibrant Career Fair to our powerful community engagement efforts and unforgettable speaker moments. But most importantly, we’re here to make space: for your growth, your network, your joy, and your legacy.

Join us March 18–22, 2026, in Baltimore, for a Convention that doesn’t just reflect who we are but propels us toward who we’re becoming.

With NSBE love and that 2HYPE pride,
Jazmine Bullock
2026 Annual Convention Planning Committee Chairperson
National Society of Black Engineers
