Annual Fellows' Meeting Exhibitor Registration

On November 22-24, 2024, over 300 McKnight Fellows and professors will meet in Tampa for our 2024 McKnight Annual Fellows Meeting and Research & Writing Conference. We invite you and your school or business to participate as an exhibitor and faculty recruiter at the Conference.

Founded in 1984, today the McKnight Doctoral Fellowship Program supports record numbers of African American and Hispanic students with innovative practices designed to help fully develop their talents and expertise. The Annual Fellows Meeting is just one in a series of conferences, year-round online workshops and an annual research and writing institute that inform, train, and connect our doctoral Fellows. Our continual efforts to evaluate and refine the support system contribute to the development of scholars who are among the brightest in the nation, highly motivated and prepared to meet the divergent needs of communities, academia, and industry.

At this year’s Meeting, we will feature a “Dialogue with Exhibitors” dinner where each exhibitor has an opportunity to make a short presentation about job openings and the advantages of working and living in their University community. Other compelling benefits of this recruitment opportunity include:

• Exhibition space available for the duration of the Conference.
• Multiple networking opportunities, enhanced by entrée to all additional Conference events and plenary sessions.
• Access to the Doctoral Fellowship Program directory, which includes more than 350 matriculating students and over 1,000 graduates, from November 2024 through January 2025, if registered by October 18, 2024.
• Official Meeting Recruiter listing on the FEF website with a hyperlink to your institution’s job openings from November 2024 through January 2025, if registered by October 18, 2024.
• The chance to observe our doctoral students and professors during formal and informal discussions elucidating their research interests, strengths, and expertise.
