ProgressNow’s annual Commference is a convening of, by, and for brilliant communications and digital professionals. Launched in 2023, this event is the only one of its kind focused solely on communications tactics and strategies within the progressive movement. Commference creates much-needed space for hundreds of communicators and digital doers from progressive partners across the country to collaborate, learn from and inspire one another, and forge a path ahead. The event covers a broad range of topics that include traditional communications, new innovations, and lessons learned.
