Organized by the Science-Engineering-Technology Work Group, CVD is a two-day annual event that brings scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, and technology executives to Washington to raise visibility and support for science, engineering, and technology. The objective is to to underscore the long-term importance of science, engineering, and technology to the Nation through meetings with congressional decisionmakers.
