Oct. 26 - 28, 2026
Scottsdale, AZ
Great marketing grows with purpose. It takes creativity, strategy, collaboration, and a willingness to adapt. This year's theme, Bloom Where You're Branded, celebrates the work community college marketing and communications professionals do to cultivate strong brands, meaningful connections, and student success.
Join colleagues from across District 6 for three days of professional development, networking, and inspiration designed specifically for community college marcom professionals. Explore timely topics including AI, enrollment marketing, brand management, digital accessibility, social media, crisis communications, leadership, and emerging trends shaping higher education. You'll leave with practical ideas, fresh perspectives, and valuable connections that will help your institution, and your brand, thrive.
The conference will be held at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort, a relaxed desert retreat less than a mile from Old Town Scottsdale and its Arts and Entertainment Districts. Every stay includes a spacious two-room suite, a free made-to-order breakfast, and a complimentary evening reception ideal for the kind of after-session connecting that District 6 does best. With two heated outdoor pools, on-site dining, and Camelback Mountain on the horizon, it's the perfect place to learn, network, and recharge under the Sonoran sun.
Whether you're planting the seeds of a new idea, nurturing an established brand, or looking for inspiration to help your institution flourish, you'll find it here.
We hope you'll join us October 26–28 as we gather in Scottsdale to learn, connect, and Bloom Where You're Branded.
