CSDC invites partner organizations, exhibitors, and attendees to submit proposals for Extended Networking Opportunities—social and informal events that bring the charter community together outside of scheduled conference programming.
Whether you're hosting a happy hour, affinity group meetup, coffee meet and greet, alumni or team celebration, we’d love to consider including your event on this official Extended Networking Opportunities page to help amplify visibility and encourage community-wide participation. If your audience is targeting a specific group, please be articulate about who is especially invited.
CSDC asks that any events taking place during the conference dates that involve conference participants—whether receptions, client dinners with significant numbers of participants, or other gatherings—be shared with our planning team so we can address any potential scheduling conflicts in advance.
To submit your event for consideration, please complete the brief form below by September 30. We look forward to helping you share your event with the wider conference community!
All School Attendees are welcome to come start the CSDC conference at our annual Free Custom Coffee at Grace Coffee Roasters across the street from the convention center courtesy of Bright Thinker!
Join us Monday, November 16 from 7:00-8:15AM at Grace Coffee Roasters (1215 K St, Sacramento).
