Welcome to the NYCCT 72nd Annual Conference! Building on the meaningful conversations from last year's conference and the 2026 Spring Convening, this year's event is designed to carry that momentum into action — turning the dialogue, perspectives, and shared insight from across New York State's community colleges into clear direction for what comes next. Attendees will have the chance to engage in an environment rooted in listening, learning, and exchanging ideas, with a focus on the strategies and solutions that will move our institutions toward a stronger future. We look forward to welcoming you to a conference that aims to create a lasting impact and strengthen our educational community.
