At JSummit, you look around the room and realize: These are your people. 

For three days in Boston, April 4–6, leaders from JCCs and independent JCC Camps across North America come together to learn, dream, and reconnect with why this work matters.

Registration opens in January.

Bring your leadership team

JSummit is built for delegations. When your CEO, board chair, board members, and senior professionals learn side by side, you come home with one vision and the momentum to act on it.

You'll meet colleagues who understand your work because they live it too. A hallway conversation can become a partnership you rely on for years, and another community’s idea might be exactly what yours needs.

JSummit keeps evolving with the movement. Shaped by your feedback from JSummit 2024, this year's program makes more room for connection—with peers, your delegation, and the people who make the JCC Movement what it is.

What you’ll experience

  • Connect with your peers: Meet leaders who share your role, region, and community size, the people facing the same decisions you are. 
  • Time with your delegation: Built-in time to reflect, compare notes, and plan what you'll bring home.
  • Big ideas, shared: Three plenaries bring everyone together, from "Setting the Table" to “The Big Idea" to “Ideas That Travel.” 
  • Workshops that fit you: Curated groupings by topic, plus the freedom to choose any session that fits your goal.
  • Rising Lay Leader Experience: For board members early in their service or preparing for a board role, identified by their board chair and CEO/ED. 
  • JTown Square: Your home base between sessions. Meet colleagues and partners, recharge, and have some fun. 
  • Sunday night celebration: Dinner and entertainment for every participant.
  • JTown Marketplace: An afternoon exploring ideas and resources from partners who support your work.
  • The energy of Boston: A vibrant waterfront setting in the heart of the Seaport District.
