Join us for the GNSI’s Visual SciComm Conference!
July 17–18 & 24–25, 2021
The GNSI cordially invites you to join our second annual virtual conference. Our organization has been hard at work adapting to the new virtual landscape and is pleased to offer you an opportunity to connect with friends and colleagues (new and old) from around the globe!
This year, we’ve assembled a fabulous lineup of speakers and workshop instructors to educate, support, and inspire you as we navigate another unprecedented year. Our content highlights how science illustrators are uniquely equipped to serve the global good through communication and outreach. We’ll spotlight a variety of projects and careers that positively impact communities around the world. We’ll also hear from professionals eager to share insights and resources to help you establish a thriving career.
In addition to presentations and workshops, we have plenty of exciting activities for sharing your work, making new connections, and exploring all that the GNSI has to offer. We’ll host a portfolio-sharing event, an Annual Members’ Exhibit, an evening soiree social, and an outrageously entertaining auction… just to name a few! We look forward to seeing you all this summer!
