Nov. 15-17, 2024 | Pittsburgh, Pa.

The ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE) is driven by, for and with the community! 2024 ASMCUE will be co-located with Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) in Pittsburgh, Pa. The 3-day ASMCUE conference is expected to bring together educators from all over the world for an immersive experience. Attendees will gather to share classroom strategies, hear biology education research updates and meet new colleagues who teach the same classes. 

Why do people attend ASMCUE? 

• Learn teaching skills that will help you build evidence-based and inclusive STEM classrooms.  
• Share recent findings in biology education research. 
• Incubate ideas with educators at all levels gathered from around the world. 
• Build new relationships with educators and educational partners. 
• Gain inspiration and insights from biology education leaders.  
• Find collaborators for a new scholarly project. 
• Leave feeling re-energized for your love of teaching!

Why should you consider sampling ABRCMS? 

• This co-location of ABRCMS and ASMCUE allows attendees of both conferences to sample content and network with audiences from a different type of conference than they normally attend. We suggest choosing 1 conference to be your primary conference experience. 
• As a science research conference, ABRCMS is a great option to hear new research findings from 12 scientific disciplines. ASMCUE no longer has “scientific research” talks as it did in the past, but sampling ABRCMS is a great way to get up to date on current research and techniques. 
• For over 20 years, the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Scientists (ABRCMS) has been the go-to conference for underrepresented trainees and faculty and program administrators who support them.  
• In 2023, over 5,600 individuals attended ABRCMS.

• Identify new ideas and resources that you can implement right away for teaching undergraduates.
• Re-establish and build new relationships with educators and educational partners.
• Incubate ideas with educators at all levels gathered from around the world.
• Find collaborators for a new scholarly project.
• Gain inspiration and insights from biology education leaders. 
• Leave feeling re-energized about your love of teaching!
