#BCCE2026 may be winding down, but we are not finished yet! 🦩 There is still plenty to learn and share today, followed by our final morning of programming tomorrow. Tonight, our #ChemEd flock gathers for the Flamboyance Gala, with music from Madison’s own VO5 and one more chance to shine together.

Behind them, flamingo attendees in colorful gala attire dance beneath a disco ball as Madison’s VO5 performs onstage between two BCCE 2026 banners in Memorial Union’s Great Hall.

We’re halfway through #BCCE2026, and the energy is still soaring! 🦩 General Chair Sam Pazicni and Program Chair Debbie Herrington are celebrating a week filled with conversations, new ideas, meaningful connections, and plenty of flamingo spirit. #ChemEd birds of a feather... learn together.

A cheerful pink flamingo holds up a calendar page with May 18 circled. Large text beside the flamingo reads, “Early Bird Pricing Ends May 18.” The graphic uses a bright, playful BCCE 2026 style with navy, teal, pink, and white colors.
