Our Winter Collaborative Meeting offers an authentic and engaging experience that connects over 400 colleagues. As a CCSSO member, you have an exclusive invitation to share ideas, showcase your thought leadership and meet professional goals in partnership with fellow elite members of your field. Here are some highlights for our 2025 Winter Collaboratives Meeting:
We have a special engagement opportunity for all of our members within the education industry called the Innovation Hub.
The Innovation Hub will have a virtual experience hall filled with information, resources, videos and live representatives from some of the leading organizations working in the PK-12 education space. This is an opportunity to not only learn about offerings from leading organizations, but also engage with special speakers, experts and colleagues.
CCSSO’s Collaboratives are the premier space for state education agency (SEA) professionals to gain invaluable industry knowledge from each other, as well as national experts on education subject areas and systems. We train our students to be lifelong learners, and our Collaboratives follow that same philosophy. You’ll join invitation-only events with an emphasis on peer-to-peer networking, advice from subject matter experts, and roundtable discussions focused on solving the issues that matter to you and the students in your state.

Fall and spring Collaborative meetings will take place in person and the winter meetings will be hosted virtually. We have tracked registration trends over the past few years and determined that offering our winter meetings in a virtual format will allow broader participation by our state members and affiliates, while also mitigating potential barriers to in-person attendance, such as inclement weather, seasonal illness and state legislative sessions. Further, this switch will allow your staff to still access premium content and engage with colleagues, without having to leave the workplace for several days. To maximize the impact and reach of these virtual meetings, we will utilize our existing virtual meeting platform and build upon all we have learned from our virtual convenings to date. Additionally, CCSSO looks forward to offering a robust suite of resources to participants in all Collaboratives, including webinars, access to technical experts and tools to support your states’ needs.
The membership enrollment drive is currently open and information on each Collaborative for the July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024 program year can be found here. If you would like to enroll in a Collaborative membership or if you have any membership-related questions, please contact CCSSO’s Senior Advisor, State Relations Adam Petermann.
