The event consists of a judged poster session, a keynote speaker, resume workshops and a job fair. John Nottingham, Nottingham Spirk co-founder and co-president, will give the keynote address.

The conference is geared toward, but not limited to, students in the macromolecular/polymer science and engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and materials science and engineering fields.

Graduate and undergraduate students can register for $10. The cost for post-doctoral students is $15 and professionals can register for $20.

In 2014, PiNO attracted more than 120 students from 27 universities in approximately 15 different fields of study.
