Conferences

The Council of the Great City Schools sponsors two major urban education conferences each year.
Annual Fall Conference: A general forum in one of the member cities for the entire membership each Fall to discuss special issues in urban education and to share information and programs across the membership. Featured speakers and events revolve around a designated theme and are interwoven with the unique characteristics of the site. The Conference provides an opportunity for information exchange, as well as for the various Council committees and subcommittees to meet to determine objectives and strategies for the coming year.
The 51st Annual Fall Conference was held in Nashville, Tenn, October 31-November 4, 2007.
