2020 CGP Conference, October 7-9

At CGP Conference, you can learn as much from your peers as you do from our great faculty. In Affinity Group sessions, you’ll meet people from across the country who share your work environment and challenges. Facilitators and discussion questions will help you get the conversation started, and large groups will use Zoom breakout rooms so everyone can participate. Don’t miss this chance to connect with ideas and people that will inspire you long after the conference is over.
