We are proud to announce the 2024 Hertz Summer Workshop, taking place August 1–4, 2024, at the beautiful Mont-Tremblant Resort in Quebec, Canada. Registration ends Friday June 28, 2024.
The annual Summer Workshop is the signature event for the Hertz community and one-of-a-kind gathering of some 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?
This year, we will also offer a special event focused on the future of energy — supported by the generosity of Eric and Wendy Schmidt — that will happen right before the Summer Workshop on July 31. Open to all workshop attendees, this event will bring together students with early, mid-, and senior career Hertz Fellows to explore solutions to our most pressing challenges related to energy, with AI, National Security and Climate Change as subtopic areas.
We hope you’ll join us for a challenging and enlightening workshop!
