Multiple streams. Multiple formats.

Every delegate comes with unique interests — yet they all share the same passion: to learn, share, and exchange ideas.

The CB+DC Conference is designed to meet these diverse interests through multiple parallel streams, giving attendees the freedom to choose sessions that match their preferred topics. With a variety of presentation and discussion formats, the conference encourages not only listening but also active participation and meaningful, in-depth dialogue.

Networking. Opportunities.

The CB+DC Conference is the ideal setting to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new ones. Mingle at the cocktail reception on day one, chat over coffee and lunch breaks, and strengthen those new friendships during dinner on the second evening.
