The conference will focus on the interconnection of art, research, and science while exploring the human condition. It will feature speakers from various fields, private viewings of exhibitions, and performances.

Staff member, Melissa Wert, will be speaking on A Brief History of Nursing: Told through the life, works, and artifacts of Florence Nightingale. It will dive into nursing overtime with emphasis on how Florence Nightingale shaped modern nursing.
