GNSI offers a number of events in person and online throughout the year. In addition, local Chapters and Groups hold local events to keep you connected and engaged.
The GNSI's Visual SciComm Conference is an annual event for artists, scientists, creators and educators of all stripes to dive into the world of visual science communication. This week-long event includes talks, workshops, portfolio sharing, field trips, and a juried exhibition as well as endless opportunities for professional development and networking. Open to both members and non-members, our Visual SciComm Conference is the perfect opportunity to create connections with like-minded professionals who share a passion for the use of art in science.
With 150–300 attendees, every event provides opportunities to catalyze great conversations and address different skill levels and interests while ensuring a comfortable environment for interacting and networking.
Conferences alternate every other year in person and online. Join our mailing list to stay up to date on the coming year's plan.
