Convene, the flagship event of the Computer Department at Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Engineering, Pune, has grown to be a highly anticipated occasion that exemplifies innovation, technical expertise, and collaboration. Scheduled for the 17th of April, 2025, this prestigious event will take place at the esteemed Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Engineering and, for the first time, will be hosted in collaboration with the SKN IEEE Student Branch (SKN-ISB). This partnership adds a valuable dimension to the event, expanding its scope and enriching the experience for all participants.

As a national-level exhibition and project competition organized by students for students, Convene aims to offer a unique platform for engineering students from various disciplines to present their technical skills, innovative problem-solving approaches, and critical thinking capabilities. It is a celebration of young minds harnessing their potential to address real-world challenges while simultaneously cultivating confidence and collaboration.

This year, Convene features a dual focus. Participants will have the opportunity to compete in 10 cutting-edge and highly relevant domains, which are as follows:

• Embedded Systems and IoT
• Cyber and Network Security
• Blockchain
• Augmented and Virtual Reality
• Natural Language Processing
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
• Cloud Computing
• Image Processing
• Deep Learning
• Web and Android development

Each project presented in these domains will be evaluated by an esteemed panel of over 25 judges, comprising experts and professionals from various fields. Their experience and insights will elevate the competitive spirit and provide participants with invaluable feedback to refine their skills further.

Simultaneously, Convene will host an Ideathon that will run parallel to the project competition. This unique segment will encourage participants to present and articulate innovative and creative ideas. The Ideathon seeks to inspire original thinking and nurture concepts that hold the potential to address pressing societal or technological challenges. By embracing both finished projects and conceptual ideas, Convene ensures a comprehensive platform that caters to a wide spectrum of student creativity and ingenuity.

Convene 2025 is not just an event but a movement aimed at fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence. It aspires to leave a lasting impression on the academic and professional journeys of all participants, organizers, and contributors, reflecting the values and vision of the institution.
