The 10th Annual STEM/STEAM and Education Conference promotes an academia well versed in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math and Education which is a key portion of the public education agenda of the United States. The conference intends to stimulate competitiveness and our nation’s future economic prosperity through encouraging and inspiring more of our best and brightest academics in the study of STEM/STEAM and Education fields.

The conference will be hosted in the city of Honolulu on the island of O’ahu, the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands known as the “Gathering Place”, featuring the unique ‘Aloha Spirit’ which complements the warmth of the people and the perfect temperatures throughout the year. O’ahu is the Jewel and the Heart of the Hawaiian Islands. This gathering place serves as a platform for academicians, researchers and professionals worldwide.

The Hawaii University International Conferences (HUIC) are designed to inspire, engage, challenge and contribute to the growing field of knowledge. Join us in Hawaii for a comprehensive conference, and learn with us in the inspiring atmosphere that our beautiful islands provide.
