Each year, the national NOBCChE Annual Conference provides opportunities for networking and mentorship between students of all levels and professionals. In addition, the conference creates a venue for scientific dialogue through technical programming, as well as personal and professional development for students and early/mid-career professionals. This year, the conference celebrated the history of the organization and the achievements of its members.

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has a NOBCChE Chapter on campus. Meet the 2023-24 executive board members.
