CAST Student Innovation Conference
For the first time, CAST is introducing the Student Innovation Conference, which will run concurrently with the CAST Annual Meeting on November 19-20. This platform allows students to present their research through posters, oral presentations, and interactive sessions.
The Student Innovation Conference is a fantastic opportunity for young scholars to gain visibility, receive feedback from experts, and network with industry professionals. Highlights of the event include live sessions, student scholarship presentations, and a reception to celebrate achievements and foster collaboration.
In addition to the conference activities, attendees can tour the University of Florida’s Gulf Coast Research and Education Center and join the Mosaic—The Nature Conservancy Field Tour. These tours offer a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge research and manufacturing facilities.
- Students must register for at least one of the following sessions: Oral/Slideshow Presentation or Poster Presentation. Tours are optional.
