Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching 2026

The organizer describes attendance as being in the thousands.

The 2026 event is at George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas.

The organizer identifies science educators, campus and district leaders, and partners as attendees.

It is most useful for Texas science teachers and campus or district leaders who want hands-on professional learning close to home, since the event is run by the Science Teachers Association of Texas and draws educators from across the state over three days. Educators from outside Texas would get less from it, as the audience and focus are statewide; vendors can reach a large Texas teacher and leader audience, since exhibit and sponsor sales are open.

Teachers at state science education conferences usually wear business casual or smart casual, such as slacks or skirts with a polo or blouse, and often a association or school t-shirt on hands-on days. Comfortable shoes help in a large convention center like the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, and a light layer is useful for heavily air-conditioned halls.
