Notice of Make/Shift Date & Location Change

The Make/SHIFT Summit originally planned for 2023 is postponed until June 24 to June 27, 2024 in La Plata, Maryland at the College of Southern Maryland.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. However, we believe that this adjustment will enable us to provide an even better experience for all participants.

With the change of date, we are able to include many more member colleges and we will return to the traditional Make/SHIFT format.

NACCE will offer a separate Patenthon competition in Florida in February of 2024. More details about the Patenthon will be shared this summer!
