Overview
We are proud to announce the 2026 Hertz Summer Workshop, taking place Thursday, July 9 – Sunday, July 12, 2026, at the Q Center in St. Charles, IL, just outside Chicago.
The annual Summer Workshop is the signature event for the Hertz community and one-of-a-kind gathering of the top scientists, entrepreneurs and leaders in our nation’s science and technology enterprise. What better place to meet—and collaborate with—the physical scientists, biologists, engineers and mathematicians who will be creating our next breakthroughs?
