We are thrilled that you are joining us for OPEN 2023 taking place March 21-23, 2023 in Old Town Alexandria, VA, just 20 minutes outside of D.C.! OPEN brings together faculty, administrators, staff, and students from the STEM fields to share innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) experiences and research, learn best practices, and forge dynamic new relationships. This year, our welcoming community will gather in-person to discuss the tools, trends, and new strategies that will collectively move I&E education forward and prepare early-stage entrepreneurs for an ever-changing world.
