Register Now
The IIN Rosemary Schnell Symposium is one of the premier gatherings in the field of nanotechnology. It offers a full day of thought-provoking talks, groundbreaking discoveries, and cross-disciplinary conversation. Each year, the symposium brings together researchers, students, industry partners, and academic leaders from across the country and around the world.
The 2025 symposium will take place on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, at the Hilton Orrington Hotel in Evanston, Illinois. This year’s program features a lineup of speakers that includes some of the most influential voices in nanoscience, energy, chemistry, and medicine. It will also showcase the winners of the 2025 Kabiller Awards, the world’s largest monetary awards for achievement in nanomedicine.
The symposium is free to attend, but we kindly ask that all attendees register in advance.
