2026 PIER Program Outline

The conference will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026. All events are in Griffin Hall at Williams College.

A detailed program will be posted in spring. For now, please know that we will start with a light breakfast and coffee, proceed through lunch together, and culminate in a dinner for student presenters. The day will feature parallel sessions featuring student research presentations, a keynote address, and a panel discussion with recently-graduated alumni, and may also feature other networking and mentoring activities. Presenters are expected to attend the entire day and, if possible, the dinner. Non-presenting Williams students will have an opportunity to attend the sessions (but not the dinner).
