2022 East Coast Retreat

Join us in Essex Woods for fun, networking, and science talks!

Hertz Fellows will gather at the Essex Woods Meeting and Retreat Center in Essex, Massachusetts, for the annual east coast retreat to collaborate with each other and hear from guest speakers on key issues in science and technology. This event, held annually in the fall in past years, hasn't occurred since 2019. We're delighted to welcome in-school fellows and those three years out from their fellowship to join this event.

Safety is a priority, and we are committed to ensuring necessary COVID-19 safety measures are in place. Vaccination is required for attendance at this event. We will continue to monitor the situation and share additional guidance with registrants.

Registration is now CLOSED. If you registered, please stay tuned as the committee will follow up with more details, including to arrange transportation to and from the event for those needing a ride.

All attendees agree to abide by the Hertz Foundation Code of Conduct, which will be shared with registrants.
