Save the Date for the 2020 Science in the City Gala

Sponsored by the Manne Research Institute

Description

On Thursday, May 21 the Chicago Council on Science and Technology will hold our largest fundraising event of 2020: Science in the City. The evening supports C2ST’s mission and the full spectrum of our programming. Your support is critical to our mission.

Join us as we celebrate public STEM outreach with STEM community members, academic and industry leaders, educators, and young professionals from across Chicagoland. Guests will engage with each other and C2ST’s leadership throughout the evening which includes a cocktail reception with heavy hors-d’oeuvres, award ceremony, and the chance to win unique and priceless experiences throughout Chicago.

Attire: Business

The Chicago Council on Science and Technology will honor two individuals with an “Advancing the Public Understanding of Science & Technology Award” by awarding a “Lifetime Achievement Award” as well as a “Young Professional Award.” C2ST created this award in 2012 to honor individuals who share in the passion and mission of the organization—to increase the awareness of the great R&D taking place in our region. View past awardees here.

Young professional ticket rates are available, email info@c2st.org to obtain a discount code.
