Regular attendees of virtual TICN meetings: please register for this meeting so we can plan for space and catering. The existing calendar hold for April 7 will be deleted shortly, and you will not be registered for the in-person meeting unless you complete the registration form below.
Date: April 7, 2026
Time: 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Location: Conference Rooms 4/5, 12000 Government Center Pkwy, Fairfax, VA
Please note: Unfortunately, we are space limited for this gathering. If the meeting is overbooked, we may limit participation to a certain number of attendees per organization. If that is necessary, we will be in touch with affected individuals via email.
Resource Table: Please bring materials to share with other attendees. This could include program flyers, business cards, recent reports/resource guides, posters, or printed QR codes linking to your favorite online videos or toolkits. You can even bring small items like fidgets or stress balls, or books or magazines you are ready to pass on. The goal of the resource table is to share TICN-relevant materials and resources among TICN members to facilitate learning, networking, and fun!
