The 51st National Convention of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) proved to be an outstanding gathering, uniting aspiring engineers, experienced professionals, and industry leaders. Hosted in Chicago, Illinois, from March 5 to 9, 2024, the event served as a hub for knowledge sharing, networking, and career development for the attending cosmographers.

With numerous leading companies present and actively seeking talent, attendees had access to a wealth of internship and full-time job opportunities. From established tech corporations to innovative startups, recruiters focused on identifying top candidates. Cosmographers not only secured interviews but also left the convention feeling empowered, recognizing that their skills and expertise were highly valued.

Among the attendees were cosmographers Abiodun Quadri, Christopher Falade, Emmanuel Addai, Oyindamola Koleoso, and Ridwan Amure. Ridwan contributed to the event by delivering a workshop presentation on AI titled “Building and Deploying Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Systems for Quality Business Impact.”

We take great pride in seeing cosmographers engage in conferences, as these experiences expand their knowledge and professional networks.

“At COSMOS, we are committed to fostering high-talent individuals and training future innovators in STEM disciplines. Events like the NSBE convention play a crucial role in advancing that vision,” said Dr. Agarwal.
