SPEAKERS

This year, NextGen boasts over 10 speakers from 8+ industries, including a Pritzker Prize-winning architect, a deep-tech investor, and aerospace innovators. Students will engage directly with these speakers through talks and Q&As, gaining inspiration, insights, and ideas to shape their own futures.

ENGAGE IN THE FUTURE

This year, NextGen invites students to dive into the forefront of innovation once more at the 2025 NextGen Conference. Along with traditional talks by industry leaders, this year the NextGen leadership team has incorporated hands-on tech demos, a startup hall, and a career browsing area. Through these experiences, attendees will explore the ideas, technology, and people shaping tomorrow.
