What is the Collaborative Community Summit?

The Collaborative Community Summit is a dynamic, day-long convening designed to ignite collaboration in the social sector. Rooted in joy, belonging, trust, and anti-racist practices, the Summit features community-building activities, inspirational speakers, interactive workshops, and robust peer-learning. Attendees will leave energized, connected to potential partners, and ready to integrate collaborative principles into their strategies, projects, and organizations. Check out the 2025 program.
