The NIGP Fellows Toast was a night of celebration, connection and the camaraderie that makes NIGP feel like home.

And what better way to look toward the future than passing the baton to some of our littlest NIGP family members?

From the Fellows who have shaped our profession to the next generation just getting started, the future is in good hands.

Here’s to carrying the NIGP spirit forward together!

At NIGP Forum, members come together, pick out ribbons that tell their story, and celebrate what makes this profession and this community so incredible.

Because every ribbon represents more than a conversation. It represents a connection to the people who make NIGP feel like home.

Science, connection & a little after-hours fun!

We took over COSI for a night of exploring, laughing and making memories with our NIGP community.

Because no matter where the profession takes you, or what the future holds, NIGP will always be your home.

Your first NIGP Forum is more than a first, it’s the beginning of something new.

The First Timers Event is a reminder of what makes this community so special: people who welcome you in, share what they know and make you feel like you’ve found your people.
