Annual Conference / Summit

Save the Date for the POC 2022 Virtual Summit
“Passion • Purpose • Progress”!

Thursday, October 27, 2022
10:00 am – 6:00 pm Eastern Time
#POCSummit

2022 has seen a lightening of pandemic restrictions however, the nation continues to adjust to the uncertainty of traveling and gathering. Many of us have a renewed Purpose; we have learned the value of virtual organizing and coaching and, as result, we have ignited our Passion with some even busier than before … and that’s Progress! In recognition of these efforts, our theme this year is “Purpose | Passion | Progress”.

The National Conference Committee, along with the management team at Associations First, continue to learn from each Summit. As a result, we’ve built another professional and engaging event that is chock full of learning, networking, and fun!

The day will begin with an “on demand” yoga session which you may enjoy at your leisure, at a time most suitable for you (and your time zone!).

With another strong response to our Call for Presenters, we are happy to offer three blocks of concurrent professional development sessions that include a range of topics, diversity, and French content. If you are undecided about which session to attend or you have a scheduling conflict with the date of the event, don’t worry. One of the many advantages of hosting a virtual Summit is the ability to record sessions. All our Summit sessions will be recorded so you can view them later. Recordings will be available to registered attendees in early November and remain available until December 31, 2022.

Besides offering an outstanding line-up of presentation topics, this year’s Summit will also include:

• Keynote Peter Walsh
• New POC 3D Virtual Expo
• Gamification and prizes throughout the day
• Social networking activities that include: Wine Tasting & Pairing and Sketching with Joyce Menyasz

And be sure to attend the Annual General Meeting being held Wednesday, October 19th from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm EST.

We are confident you will come away from this Summit inspired and motivated to pursue your Purpose and Passion for Progress. We look forward to “seeing you there”!
