Update: New Dates

    We moved the Confluence from October 2026 to March 30–April 1, 2027, at The Westin Buckhead Atlanta, to give us time to listen, assess, and prepare with intention.

    Leaders of Color Confluence 2027:

    From Vision to Impact: A Decade of Building Community & Capacity

    Join us for NCC’s 3rd Annual Charter Leaders of Color Confluence as we celebrate 10 years of building community, strengthening leadership, and expanding impact across the charter sector.
     
    Confluence 2027 brings together charter school leaders, advocates, partners, and changemakers from across the country to celebrate a decade of collective impact while looking ahead to the future of our movement. Through meaningful connections, engaging conversations, and actionable learning, attendees will explore how we continue building the capacity of leaders of color, strengthening our schools, and advancing opportunities for the communities we serve.

    Registration for the new dates opens soon. Already registered? Questions about your registration or hotel reservation: info@chartercollab.org

    Why we moved

    We’ve Moved to Spring

    We moved the Confluence from October 2026 to March 30–April 1, 2027. The evolving policy and political landscape, and our work to deepen higher education–charter school partnerships, made this the right moment to listen, assess, and prepare with intention. The extra time lets us build a program around what leaders are navigating now.
