CPSI OPENING, Keynote, Dinner, CPSI 70th Birthday Champagne Toast
Sunday June 22, 2025 5:00pm - 7:00pm EDT
If you’ve been to CPSI before, you know about the special spark we lovingly call “CPSI Magic.” It begins the moment we welcome you at Registration and carries through to our unforgettable 70th Birthday Party Opening Celebration.
Be sure to bring a notebook and pen—we’re kicking things off with energizing activities that will expand your capacity for curiosity, creativity, and connection. Together, we’ll set intentions, explore new ideas, and begin our journey of learning and growth.
Then, we’ll raise a glass with a champagne toast to 70 years of CPSI, celebrate with cake, and enjoy the company of our creative community. A cash bar will also be available.
