Each spring, more than 3,000 students, teachers, parents, community members, and business leaders gather in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to attend EAST’s signature event: EAST Conference. This multi-day event is an opportunity for students to showcase projects that make a difference in their communities, to network with peers and industry professionals, and to experience a professional conference unlike any other. EAST Conference is designed to empower students, celebrate accomplishments, foster connections, and expand the EAST network.
All times are in Central Standard Time (CST).
