Day 3 of BE-STEMM 2024 falls on Emancipation Day, and starts with a special visit from Hon. Greg Fergus, Speaker of the House of Commons followed by an update on the year’s activities and discussion of future plans for the network (we want your input!). We will enjoy our last round of concurrent talks, and final keynote talk, followed by a performance by the Afro Dance Crew. The day continues with an Awards ceremony opened by remarks from the Rt. Hon. Michaëlle Jean, who invites us to recognize the top presentations of the conference, and honour our career award recipients. Finally, we celebrate and say farewell at that Emancipation day banquet.
