About this event
The future of CCL 2026 will be shaped by the people willing to show up early, think clearly, and contribute something real. Shaping What’s Next for CCL 2026 - Session 1 is the first opportunity to get in the room, connect with others in the community, and help influence the direction of what comes next. This is not a passive update or a one-way presentation. It’s an in-person working session built for conversation, perspective-sharing, and practical input from people who care about where CCL is headed and how the experience can be stronger, more useful, and more connected in 2026. About the Event This session is designed as an early-stage community gathering focused on ideas, priorities, and momentum for CCL 2026. Whether you are closely involved already or simply curious about contributing to the next chapter, this is a chance to be part of the discussion before plans are fully set. Because this is Session 1, the emphasis is on opening the conversation well: surfacing themes, identifying opportunities, and hearing from a range of voices in the room. The goal is to create a strong foundation for future planning, not to present finished answers. Expect a format that supports both networking and substance. There will be space to meet other attendees, hear the framing for the session, and participate in discussion around what matters most for CCL 2026. What to Expect The session will likely move through a few clear phases so the conversation stays productive and easy to follow. While the exact flow may adapt to the room, attendees should expect a structured but approachable experience. You can expect elements such as: A welcome and framing conversation to set context for why this session matters now Community discussion around needs, priorities, and possibilities for CCL 2026 Networking time to connect with others who are invested in the same broader community Idea-sharing and feedback that can help shape future sessions and planning decisions Because this is an in-person meetup, some of the most useful moments may happen in the smaller exchanges before, during, and after the main discussion. If you have a perspective, a question, or a concern, this is the kind of setting where those contributions can actually influence the direction of what follows. The overall tone is social, collaborative, and practical. You do not need to arrive with a polished proposal. It is enough to come ready to listen, participate, and think constructively about what CCL 2026 should become. Why Attend If you want a say in what happens next, showing up early matters. This session gives you a chance to be part of the conversation at a stage when input is still useful, themes are still emerging, and community insight can still shape priorities in a meaningful way. There is also value in simply being in the room with others who care about the same future. Events like this help people find collaborators, compare perspectives, and build the relationships that make later planning stronger and more grounded. Attending can help you: Understand the current direction of thinking around CCL 2026 Contribute ideas before plans are locked in Meet other engaged community members in a focused, in-person setting Spot areas where you may want to stay involved beyond this first session Leave with a clearer sense of what matters most to the people shaping what comes next If you have ever wanted community planning to feel more open, more responsive, or more connected to the people it serves, this is the kind of session where that work begins. Practical Details This is an in-person event, which means the experience is built around real-time discussion, face-to-face connection, and the kind of spontaneous conversation that is hard to recreate online. If you value being able to read the room, ask follow-up questions naturally, and build rapport quickly, that format is a major part of the appeal. The session takes place on Thursday, November 6 at 4:30 PM PST. That timing makes it well suited for attendees who want to transition from the workday into a community-focused conversation and spend their time on something forward-looking and tangible. A few useful ways to prepare: Come ready to introduce yourself and share your connection to the community Bring a few thoughts about what CCL 2026 should prioritize, improve, or build toward Expect a mix of social interaction and focused conversation Plan to stay present and engaged, since the value of the session comes from active participation If CCL 2026 matters to you, Session 1 is the right place to start. It is where early ideas get tested, community signals become clearer, and the next phase begins to take shape with the people who care enough to help build it.
