Welcome to ideaFest 2024!

Join us on Friday, May 3, 2024 as more than 200 Students, Faculty, and Staff from Cal Poly Humboldt showcase research, performances, digital projects, and more! ideaFest is a campus-wide event sponsored by the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs, Marketing & Communications, and the Library in collaboration with the Colleges. We are all excited for the opportunity to support the development and dissemination of research & creative activities at Cal Poly Humboldt.

Registration for the 2024 ideaFest symposium is now closed. Printing has started for posters that were registered by the deadline. Printed posters will be delivered to the Cal Poly Humboldt Library and set up by the event staff on the morning of the event. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes early to locate your poster, get some refreshments, and store your belongings. The Library will be very full, so presenters are encouraged to bring as few belongings as possible to keep the walking paths clear. Wearing face masks in the library is strongly encouraged and will be provided at the entrance if needed.

We hope you also consider publishing your poster in Humboldt Digital Commons and a research paper in ideaFest Journal, Humboldt's own peer-reviewed academic journal.  The deadline to submit an article to the journal is two weeks after the end of the fall and spring semesters.
