Celebrate New Mexico Engineers 

and Inspire the Next Generation

Friday, February 23, 2024

8:00 am to 2:00 pm

EWeek is presented as a hybrid event. You may choose to attend either in person or virtually.  This year's conference will offer 4 technical PDH credits (morning and keynote).  Your response to in person attendance has been tremendous and we are nearly SOLD OUT for the lunch and Keynote Speaker in person option!.

In person attendees will have the opportunity to engage with speakers, network with colleagues, and maybe meet someone new! You may also choose to attend just for lunch and the keynote. After getting settled with the hot plated entrée of your choice for lunch, NMSPE will be presenting their annual awards, recognizing outstanding students from universities across the states, and a keynote address.  You will also be able to visit our Sponsors' Exhibits and meet our Award Winners.

Virtual attendees will be able to receive the same PDH credits from the comfort of their chosen environment. Virtual attendees may participate in Q&A with speakers as time allows, but will not have the same opportunities to engage as the in person attendees.

Virtual attendance is still open.  Those wishing to attend in person can be added to the waitlist and will be seated to the extent possible.
