AIAA Young Professionals, Students, and Educators (YPSE) Conference

We are looking for 15-20 minute technical presentations in any area of interest to the aerospace community by young professionals (age 35 and under), graduate, undergraduate, high school students, and educators. Topics can be technical in nature or focus on Gender, Generation, and Geography (3G+).

Within the 3G+ track, we are looking for presenters who want to share their story and speak on topics including but not limited to under-representative communities in Aerospace, dealing with imposter syndrome/burnout, authenticity, empowerment and outreach, intersectionality etc. We know this is a broad track; we want you all to have the freedom to speak on anything you are passionate about within 3G+.

The titles for the winning technical presentations from past years can be found in the Past Conferences tab. Technical presentations will be scored on various criteria including ability to convey impact of work, demonstrate knowledge of the technical area, methodologies, communication, and more. Awards (Certificate and cash prizes) will be given to exceptional presentations in the various categories listed above.
