2026 Annual Convention: April 16-18 in Cincinnati

Time and time again we hear from members that one of the biggest benefits of being part of RCC is the opportunity to network with fellow members. While the professional development offerings also provide membership value, our members cite connection as their top benefit. This focus is reflected in our theme and focus for the 2026 annual convention.

“Throughout our history, RCC has provided opportunities for communicators to learn from and support each other,” states Ryan Koch, RCC Board of Governors president. The convention planning committee wanted to leverage one of our key member benefits, especially since the convention allows us to be in person and re-connect with colleagues.”

He notes that the theme – “Coming Together, Charting Our Course” – merges RCC’s focus on connection with our host city’s renown as a river city. “We felt the theme also indicates how we as communication professionals play a role in impacting the future of our organizations,” Koch adds.

“The convention is a great way for people to learn from one other, share best practices, and encourage understanding among religious and faith groups,” says Koch. Our theme captures that sense of community while also celebrating our future as an organization and profession.”

The planning committee is currently working on facilities and speakers; check back here for info as it’s confirmed.
