Meet-Ups
INCM is hosting three networking Meet-Ups at CPC27, designed to complement your conference experience. Get your bearings before things kick off, pull up a chair with leaders working through the same questions you are, and connect over lunch with people from your own state or region.
Mon, Jan 4 | 7:00 - 8:00 PM EST
New to CPC Meet-Up
Get oriented the night before we kick off. Take a tour, pick up a few can't-miss details about CPC, and meet other attendees, with some extra surprises and fun along the way. You'll leave feeling connected, prepared, and ready to hit the ground running Tuesday morning.
Tue, Jan 5 | 4:30 - 5:30 PM EST
CPC CoLab Meet-Up
A topic-based roundtable built for collaboration and connection. Pull up a chair with other ministry leaders to ask questions, share experiences, explore ideas, and learn from one another. You choose the conversations that matter most, and we'll help you find your people.
How it works: Pick your top three topics when you register. We'll match you with one topic for your roundtable, and your table assignment will arrive about 24 hours before the Meet-Up.
Wed, Jan 6 | 12:30 - 1:15 PM EST
State/Region Meet-Up
A lunchtime networking Meet-Up for connecting with ministry leaders from your state or region, plus anyone who traveled internationally for CPC. Grab your lunch, bring it with you, and meet leaders from your area. Round tables will be grouped by state or region based on registrations.
Please note: lunch is not provided. Use the first 30 minutes of the lunch break to grab your food and walk over.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED
Space is limited.
Meet-Ups are your chance to connect with people doing the same work, trade what's working, and build a network you can lean on all year. Grab your CPC27 ticket, then save your Meet-Up spots in the Attendee Hub.
Meet one-on-one with a veteran ministry coach who can help you think through a decision, challenge, or opportunity with greater clarity.
Reserve a time : coaching appointment registration will open later this fall.
Walk away clear : leave with an honest, practical next step.
Registration is required and is first come, first served. Registration opens in November.
Discover organizations, tools, services, and ministry resources created to support your work.
Begin CPC27 with a focused, hands-on deep dive in a topic of your choice.
