The exclusive event is open to all faculty, staff, and students of A&M System member institutions.

The background blends warm and cool tones with abstract technology-inspired patterns. The event theme, "Celebrating Our Successes: Looking Back As We Leap Forward," is prominently displayed in bold white text. Event details indicate the conference will take place June 9 & 10, 2025, at RELLIS Campus, with an online session on June 12, 2025.
