You're In. Get Ready.

Conference Starts in Days. Do This Before You Board.

RSVP is closed — if you're coming to CLAC 2026, now is the time to make sure you're fully set up and connected before you leave home. Two things to do right now: get into Sched so you can build your personal schedule, and join the CLAC Slack so you're plugged into the conversation from day one.

RSVP Required! Wednesday Evening

The Presidential Roundtable Dinner

An intimate dinner at the historic Athenaeum, where CMC and Scripps presidents discuss the future of the consortium model — AI, autonomy, and collective scale. Check your Sched account for your ticket if you RSVP'd.

RSVP Required! Pre-Conference

AI ScreenShare Pre-Conference

A hands-on, unconference-style showcase capped at 50 participants. Bring what you've built with AI — workflows, scripts, demos — and see what your peers across liberal arts institutions have actually deployed. Starts Monday, June 8 at 1:30 PM.

RSVP Required! Tuesday Evening

ComedySportz Improvisational Comedy

Fast-paced, audience-driven improv from professional players. It's the kind of evening that turns first-time attendees into regulars — and gives you something to talk about over breakfast the next morning. Check Sched for your ticket.

Do This Now

Two Things. Before You Board the Plane.

The best CLAC experiences happen when attendees are connected and prepared. Sched is where your personalized schedule and event tickets live. Slack is where the conversation — and the community — happens in real time, before, during, and after the conference.

Install both on your phone. Log in. You'll thank yourself when you land in Claremont.

1. Get into Sched

Build your personal schedule, access your event tickets, and keep everything in one place. Install the Sched app on your phone and log in before you travel.

2. Join CLAC Slack

Sign up for the CLAC Connect Slack workspace, then join the #clac2026 event channel. This is where announcements, room changes, and hallway conversations live during the conference.

Mobile Setup

Put Sched & Slack on Your Phone

The conference moves fast. Having Sched and Slack on your phone means you can check room changes, find people, and jump into conversations without hunting for a laptop.

How to set up Slack on mobile:

  1. Download Slack from the App Store or Google Play
  2. Open the app and tap "Sign in to your workspace"
  3. Enter clac-connect.slack.com as your workspace
  4. Sign in with your email — or create a free account first
  5. Once in, find and join the #clac2026 channel
  6. Enable push notifications so you don't miss real-time updates
