Time remaining until close of Registration
Register Early. Experience Everything.
Registration is your key to the full CLAC 2026 experience — including a handful of intimate, high-demand events that require a separate RSVP. Those RSVPs open soon, and seating is strictly limited.
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. This is a rare conversation that doesn't happen in any track room.
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.
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.
Wire to Wire.
There's no bad day at CLAC 2026 — every session, every break, every hallway conversation is part of the return on your investment. The attendees who arrive Monday and stay through Thursday leave with more connections, more insights, and more momentum than those who catch just a slice of it.
Don't come in late. The Pre-Conference and opening reception set the tone for the whole week — the informal conversations that happen before the program officially kicks off are often the most valuable ones.
Don't leave early. Thursday's closing happy hour is more than a send-off. It's a curated gathering with vendors, a chance to win some prizes, and the kind of unstructured networking time that rarely happens during a packed agenda. It's worth staying for.
