Important Dates and Deadlines
Bringing #SHAPECharlotte to life is a true community effort. Long before we gather in April, our journey begins with the Call for Proposals, followed by award nominations, grant applications, volunteer sign-ups, and more.
Staying on top of these milestones is the best way to secure your spot, lock in the lowest registration and hotel rates, and shape the conversation for this year’s event. Make sure you take note of the following dates and deadlines to make the most out of your #SHAPECharlotte experience!
