Session Types
General Sessions are led by notable individual speakers on topics more broadly applicable to CSR professionals, such as key leadership skills, change management, cross–functional collaboration, influence, and the connection between employees and civic engagement. These presentation–style sessions are meant to challenge ways of thinking, drive inspiration, and provide best practices.
Plenary sessions will focus on one of ACCP’s content priority areas in a panel discussion featuring multiple viewpoints and approaches. Curated conversations will feature CSR practitioners from different industries, sizes of organizations, or stakeholder groups and will allow the opportunity for Q&A.
Aligned with ACCP’s content priority areas, workshops are an opportunity for interactive participation by attendees through hands-on activities and engagement opportunities, such as creative brainstorming and problem-solving, assessments, small group discussions, or mini on-site projects. Attendees will leave workshop sessions feeling confident they know how to enact a new tool, make a plan for their organization, or evolve in their professional development.
Learning labs are designed as more formal presentations that take attendees on a deep dive through a real-world example or case study on program elements or recent CSR trends. These examples and case studies include honest depictions and insights into challenges and successes, program considerations, and best practices learned from experience. Learning Lab sessions will also provide attendees with suggestions and actionable takeaways for applying concepts to their work.
Introducing the Activity Zone – a dynamic and engaging space at this year’s ACCP Annual Conference where connection meets action. Powered by our diverse network of mission-aligned service providers, the Activity Zone is your go-to hub for discovering innovative tools, resources, and partnerships that can elevate your corporate social impact work. Each exhibitor will offer a hands-on, interactive activity designed to spark conversation, inspire new ideas, and bring their services to life. Whether you’re looking to solve a challenge, explore new strategies, or simply have some fun while networking, the Activity Zone is where it all happens.
Career conversations are interview-style sessions designed to delve into the various career journeys of CSR professionals. These conversations will discuss career paths, advice to those starting in their social impact careers, tips on developing professionally in this industry, and personal lessons learned from the field. Each career conversation will be moderated by someone newer in the field and will feature a mid– or senior-level professional from the same industry.
