This year, for our 16th gathering, we call upon you to join us with intention, commitment, and passion as we explore this year’s powerful and dual-sided theme: Education Matters.Education is consequential, transformative and urgent; it is the ladder of opportunity that helps transform lives. And, matters of education – the systems, policies, and barriers – require our attention and collective action.Whether you work directly with students or are a part of shaping the systems they navigate, CCE 2026 is your opportunity to be part of that conversation, not as a passive observer, but as a contributor, change agent, and student advocate as we explore:Which policies are quietly harming our students, and how do we work within imperfect systems while simultaneously pushing to change them?How do we dismantle the visible and invisible barriers that prevent students from accessing the education they deserve?How do we move from isolated programs to scalable institutional change that allows us to build educational ecosystems where innovation is not the exception, but the expectation?If education truly matters, what are we willing to change about our institutions, our practices, and ourselves, to prove it?Come ready to be challenged, inspired and most importantly, to act. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/tinley-park/2026-college-changes-everything-cce-conference/100001988352033457 - **Event Categories**: fitness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 40, max: 40, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Tinley Park - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Tinley Park Convention Center - **lat**: 41.555607 - **long**: -87.78920599999998 - **full address**: Tinley Park Convention Center, 18451 Convention Center Drive, Tinley Park, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2026 College Changes Everything (CCE) Conference - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/1f5547010bfd8db6c634ef965ab3314ada12e568eaef8c77dd478d66a3f7b2a4-rimg-w1200-h600-dc000000-gmir.jpg?v=1780537384 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2026 College Changes Everything (CCE) Conference being held? - **A:** 2026 College Changes Everything (CCE) Conference takes place on Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 am to Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Tinley Park Convention Center, 18451 Convention Center Drive, Tinley Park, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2026 College Changes Everything (CCE) Conference? - **A:** 2026 College Changes Everything (CCE) Conference is organized by Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC). - **Q**: Who is this event for?
