Strengthening Student Success Conference.

 SSSC26 | October 7–9 | Garden Grove, CA

The conference offers a unique opportunity for California community college professionals—faculty, deans, student services staff, IRPE professionals, and more—to connect across roles and campuses. Together, we’ll explore strategies to improve equitable outcomes, strengthen institutional effectiveness, and build leadership capacity. Through interactive sessions, thought-provoking plenaries, and innovative learning opportunities, the conference fosters meaningful dialogue and collaboration across disciplines. Our commitment to race-conscious, equity-minded, student-centered transformation is woven throughout the program. We hope you’ll join us in this milestone year as we celebrate 20 years of progress and continue building a liberatory future together.

Conference registration includes the following:

  • Inspiration & Insights — Attend all plenary sessions and choose from 37 dynamic breakout sessions by practitioners from across the CCC system.

  • Meaningful Connections — Network with peers, thought leaders, and innovators to grow your professional circle.

  • Tasty Perks — Enjoy breakfast, refreshments, and lunches that keep you energized and ready to engage—all included.

  • Exclusive Access — Connect through our mobile app and event community, showcase your profile, and start meaningful conversations before, during, and after the event.
