The future is shaped by the choices of the past. 

As we look ahead, the community management industry must prepare for what’s next by understanding where we’ve been. Decades of Advocacy explores the pivotal legal, operational and cultural shifts that have defined community management through the years and how those lessons can guide our path forward. From the rise of artificial intelligence to how we lead, collaborate and build stronger communities, CACM will equip you with the tools and insights to confidently navigate a rapidly changing world. Join us for this two-day conference as we reflect, learn and innovate for the decades to come.

Regionally Focused Education: CACM’s Education team has curated a lineup of California’s top experts to lead this year's sessions.  While the content is valuable statewide, sessions are tailored to address the distinct legal and operational challenges facing either Northern or Southern California, ensuring a more localized and relevant learning experience.
