Welcome

On behalf of the NSBE Professionals, I am honored to welcome you to the 2025 Professional Development Conference (PDC) in New Orleans, Louisiana!

This year’s theme, “The Power of Us: Building, Connecting, Elevating,” reflects the essence of what makes our community strong. We build the foundation for success, connect with intention, and elevate ourselves and each other to new heights. PDC is more than a conference—it’s a movement, a gathering of STEM professionals committed to growth, impact, and collective excellence.

And what better place to embrace this spirit than New Orleans? A city known for its resilience, culture, and vibrant community, New Orleans reminds us of the power of unity and perseverance. As we say here, “Laissez les bon temps rouler”—let the good times roll! While you’re here, I encourage you to learn, network, celebrate, and embrace the experience that PDC has to offer.

Whether you’re here to gain new skills, explore new opportunities, or connect with like-minded professionals, this conference is designed to empower you to take action—in your career, your community, and beyond.

I can’t wait to see you in New Orleans as we build, connect, and elevate—together!

Information regarding the Open Enrollment Campaign

We open enrollment for the new membership cycle on May 1st each year which will allow members an additional 2 months to renew and receive benefits. Please note that membership subscriptions are not prorated. However, if you plan on renewing your membership mid-year to qualify for registration discounts or other benefits, that is fine. However, please be aware that renewing a membership following the Annual Convention will only grant you a subscription that lasts for only a month or less. We strongly recommend waiting until May 1st to maximize your investment.
