April 14-15, 2018 at Howard University (Washington, D.C.)

The Infinite Possibilities Conference (IPC) is a national conference that is designed to promote, educate, encourage and support women of color interested in mathematics and statistics, as a step towards addressing the underrepresentation of African-Americans, Latinas, Native Americans, and Pacific Islanders in these fields.

IMPORTANT: The 2018 Infinite Possibilities Conference is currently at capacity. Any registrations submitted after March 2, 2018 will be put on a waiting list.

“[Meeting] so many women of color who earned PhDs in math and statistics... blew me away and kept me coming back for more.”- Past IPC participant
