NSBE 2026 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.
Our theme for #NSBE2026 is Advancing S.T.E.M., a call to action that challenges us to go beyond the acronym and live out the four pillars that fuel 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.
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
