Welcome + Keynote Address + Technology-focused CareersBeyond the Lab BenchWelcome to registrants; overview of presentations and what can be learned about long-term technology-driven career opportunities in Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region. A highly educated science and engineering work force is often interested in exploring long-term career opportunities beyond bench research, and state and local governments are interested in retaining these individuals in or to build future economies driven by scientific discoveries and technological innovation. Such opportunities include:
Panel discussion with question/answer session seeks to make attendees aware of such opportunities in Maryland and in the five state Mid-Atlantic region: MD, VA, DE, PA, WVA Introduction: Moderator: Speakers: |

The Mid-Atlantic EcosystemAn overview of the five state Mid-Atlantic region─ the most densely populated geographic area with Federal Government laboratories, engineering facilities and technical operations. As such, over more than 40 years, perhaps as far back as WWII, the region has experienced the evolution of world-class academic institutions, has attracted a discipline-diversified professional workforce, and has experienced the evolution of some highly specialized science and technology-driven entrepreneurship ecosystems that might soon rival those on the West Coast and Boston. These ecosystems provide opportunities for robust economic growth and impressive long-term career opportunities for scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals. Moderator: Speakers: |
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm |
Mid-Atlantic STEM, Innovation & EntrepreneurshipBuilding from the immediate previous event, a deeper dive into the STEM-driven career opportunities offered in the Mid-Atlantic region, especially the commitments made by state and local governments to promote and attract technology driven businesses to the region and to attract and retain a highly-qualified work force to support these businesses.
