TPC Chair Welcome

Dear NSBE Professionals,

I look forward to seeing you in Baltimore, Maryland, next March for the Technical Professionals Conference (TPC) of NSBE’s 2026 Annual Convention (#NSBE2026). This event — our 30th annual TPC — is centered on the theme “Advancing S.T.E.M. — Shaping the Future.” This convention is our time to shape the future, transform our communities, empower excellence, and mobilize innovation.

As NSBE Professionals, our goal is to “inspire the next generation of technical professionals and serve as a catalyst for transforming the culture of engineering.” The vision for the 30th Annual TPC is that you will grow technically, succeed professionally, and receive opportunities to positively impact the community. As an organization of Black technical professionals, we are breaking barriers, advancing our technical expertise, and succeeding professionally.

TPC offers innovative experiences tailored to meet the needs of every NSBE Professional, as well as those who have yet to join our organization — from early-career professionals to seasoned industry leaders. We invite you to attend the Technical Professionals Conference at #NSBE2026 to learn, network, receive training, and inspire the next generation of young Black scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians who will follow in our footsteps.

On behalf of the National Professionals Executive Board and the TPC Planning Committee, we welcome you to Baltimore for TPC30, on March 18–22, 2026.

Advancing S.T.E.M. and the mission,

Temitayo Akinrefon
2026 Technical Professionals Conference Chair
National Society of Black Engineers

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.

NSBE has shaped my story in ways I never could have imagined. I’ve gone from a quiet girl from Delaware, unsure of her place in this space, to someone who now boldly carries the torch for the next generation. NSBE believed in me before I believed in myself. And that belief is what we’re channeling into every detail of this Convention.

Our theme for #NSBE2026 is Advancing S.T.E.M., a phrase that challenges us to go beyond the acronym and embrace the four pillars that support 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.

We are excited for what’s ahead — from our reimagined General Sessions and vibrant Career Fair to our powerful community engagement efforts and unforgettable speaker moments. But most importantly, we’re here to make space: for your growth, your network, your joy, and your legacy.

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
National Society of Black Engineers
