I need to attend a public interest conference...where should I go?

If you attended the Oct. 1st EPIC conference (and documented this attendance by signing in and out) then you're all set!

If you weren't able to attend the EPIC conference, don't despair!  There are plenty of other opportunities.  We encourage you to do your own search for public interest conferences.  We will also send out any conferences that are brought to our attention in the weekly newsletter. Remember that any conference besides the EPIC conference must be explicitly approved in order to count towards your EPIC grant requirements.  If you aren't sure if the conference you would like to attend will count, please email us.
