Those who have registered for this event before may notice that we are using a new registration platform this year. In this process, we've been able to implement requests we've received in previous years. To help with the change, we've created this step-by-step guide to help you navigate the form.

Who should attend?

Still not sure if our Convention and Tradeshow is meant for you? This event is designed as a space for collaboration, learning, and celebration of community college excellence.

Most simply, our convention is open to:

  • Employees and trustees of Iowa’s community colleges (and those from neighboring states)
  • Representatives from the Iowa Department of Education and the Iowa Community College Leadership Development Consortium (and community college-related roles in higher education)

Corporate and for-profit representatives may attend by sponsoring and participating in the Tradeshow. This approach ensures that the event remains focused on advancing Iowa’s community college mission while creating meaningful opportunities for our sponsoring partners to engage with college leaders in a purposeful way. Sponsorship opportunities are available here.
