Conference Venue & Schedule

In 2024 we’ll be celebrating our continued growth as the newly named Association of Science Communicators, and honoring our open letter which calls the SciComm community to open more doors to science communication and communicators. 

SCIENCE TALK ’24 is a hybrid conference and will take place both in-person in Portland, Oregon, and with real-time, online participation for speakers and attendees also available.

We encourage the full interaction allowed by face-to-face attendance. We strongly encourage up-to-date COVID vaccination and masks for in-person attendees and will follow all applicable health regulations. We recognize the public health situation is fluid and will make additional decisions about in-person events based on the best scientific information as the event approaches. 

See the 2024 Agenda tab for more information on the conference program.

IN-PERSON events:

The in-person portion of Science Talk ’24 will take place at The Tiffany Center at 1410 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR 97205. The Tiffany Center is centrally located in downtown Portland and is close to many hotels, Airbnbs, and public transportation.

Conference programming will be held from approximately 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM Pacific Time each day, April 11-12, 2024.

We’re also very excited to host four “Science Week” pre- and post-conference social events. If you’re in town early and/or staying after the conference, we hope you’ll join us! Check out our Science Week events tab.

VIRTUAL events:

Virtual (live-streamed) presentations will take place between April 3 – 5 and April 8. ALL attendees will have access to virtual presentations.

In-person keynotes, panels, and short talk sessions on April 11-12 will also be live-streamed out in real time (Pacific Time) so virtual attendees can still participate.

We look forward to seeing you at Science Talk ’24!
