Connecting Futures: Youth Power in a Digital Age

You’re most welcome to join us for the 13th Annual Chess & Community Conference - a vibrant celebration of strategy, innovation, and youth leadership.

This free, open-to-the-public, youth-led, family-friendly experience brings together students, schools, and community partners from across the region for a powerful day of connection and competition. More than a usual conference, we have something for everyone; watch young minds compete on the chessboard, explore hands-on robotics and emerging technology, and showcase the leadership and creativity shaping tomorrow; each year we foster community engagement, VR demonstrations, important keynote speakers for a movement — where families gather to learn and grow together, and where young people are empowered to take charge of their future.

Come celebrate with us. See the brilliance. Feel the energy.
Be part of the community that’s building what’s next.
