Set to bring together the world’s brightest minds in science and technology, President Obama will be hosting the first ever White House Frontiers Conference in Pittsburgh on October 13th.
Co hosted by the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, the conference will focus on topics appearing in the November issue of WIRED, one of the world’s leading sources for science and technology news.
“We look forward to celebrating progress to date and convening an inspiring cross-sector, action oriented discussion about the path forward,” the White House said in a release on their website.
The conference will feature five “Frontiers” of innovation that encourage collaboration to solve global challenges that will ultimately improve the standard of living. Aiming to strengthen the national scope in science and technology and stay on the cutting edge of innovation, the White House is currently seeking nominations to participate in the conference.
