Great Minds in STEM is excited to bring our 38th Annual Conference to Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 2026. This will be our first time hosting the conference in New Mexico, with events taking place at the Albuquerque Convention Center in the heart of downtown. The Clyde and the DoubleTree hotels will serve as our host hotels, both located just steps from the convention center.Our three-day program will feature our signature lineup of networking, recruiting, and recognition events, along with the return of our popular collegiate competitions and the STEM Talks introduced in 2025. The Speed Networking events, student and professional awards receptions, and the Saturday Career and Graduate School Fair will round out the recruiting and engagement offerings. GMiS is also proud to renew our partnership with the Computing Alliance of Hispanic Serving Institutions (CAHSI) who will once again collocate their Annual Summit at the GMiS Conference.  Nearly 600 CAHSI students and 100 faculty will convene for concurrent AI and computing specific programming that will overlap with the larger GMiS schedule.
