2027 CBTE Gathering Schedule

We want this gathering to be different than your typical conference experience. You will not find yourself running to the next session, having no time for discussion, or feeling like you’ve been hit by a firehose. We want you to rest, refresh, and reflect. We want you to ask great questions, engage in stimulating conversations, and ponder new ideas. Hence, we have designed our time together to allow for content delivery, group discussions, questions, and a significant “unconference” session.

Schedule – Coming

We are in the process of creating the schedule for the 2027 CBTE Gathering. If you would like an idea of what we did last time, please take a look at our 2025 CBTE Gathering schedule.
