Welcome to the 2024 Beyond Academia Conference! This conference provides opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to learn about career options alongside and outside of academia. The goal of our event is to help attendees develop an action plan that will prepare them for the career of their choice. By attending our workshops, panels, and networking events, students and scholars empower themselves to make informed choices about their career options.

Registration is FREE for all current UCSB graduate students and postdocs, as well as Master's/PhD alumni who have graduated within the past 5 years. If you have trouble registering, you can reach out to the organizers.

Visit our website for more information on the conference schedule.

Zoom links will be sent to all attendees the week of the conference.

We are excited to have you join us for this year's conference!
