On-Demand Portion of Conference Extended
If you attended the event and wanted to view some of the sessions you missed, now is your chance. Due to popular demand and the success of the On-Demand portion of the Conference, C3 has decided to leave access to all of the sessions and the new C3 LEAD platform available until the end of August, 2021. All attendees are encouraged to invite three people at their location that did not attend to the extended Conference access.
The 10th Annual C3 Conference
August 3-6, 2021
This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Catholic Communication Collaboration's C3 "Tech" Conference. Due to COVID-19, we adapted to learn and develop new techniques relying on the use of technology in our schools and parishes to continue our ministries throughout the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. We also continued to adhere to protocols and precautions resulting from the pandemic, therefore the C3 Conference was again virtual. The theme for this year was "What's Next?"
Last year on day one of the Conference, everyone shared their pandemic experiences in numerous sessions grouped by job/position within the Archdiocese. This year, sessions similarly grouped to continue to focus on new and current technology-related techniques, with an exciting new change: We offered interactive On-Demand sessions. The Conference had our usual live sessions on day one, Tuesday, August 3, 2021 followed by the new "on-demand" sessions through August 6, 2021. The schedule of sessions are available on the session page.
It does not matter where you are, where you work or what job and responsibilities you have, you can still virtually attend this year’s C3 Conference for FREE until the end of August!

CATHOLIC COMMUNICATION COLLABORATION (C3)
The Catholic Communication Collaboration (C3) dates back to the early 1960s when the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) authorized operation of one-way, analog line-of-sight technology. This was known as Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) and shortly thereafter, the Archdiocese was granted licenses for the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas. In 2003, the FCC approved the use of the spectrum by wireless internet service providers. In 2006, the ADLA entered into an agreement with Clearwire, a cellular provider to lease our Educational Broadcasting Service (EBS) spectrum. The sub-license arrangement included economic and service components to allow the Archdiocese to support creative wireless initiatives for parish and school educational efforts.
The Archdiocese organized a pilot program under the Catholic Communication Collaboration, commonly referred to as C3. The pilot program was overseen by an Archdiocesan working group to serve as a test platform to assess and enhance technology, professional development and content and applications at 25 selected parish, school and administrative sites. The objective was to provide full broadband communications connectivity with CLEAR, or a comparable service, to all locations, to ensure the effective use of the Archdiocese's spectrum licenses and to use the Clearwire resources and other grants and funding to innovate in all areas of education, ministry and administration. CLEAR merged with Sprint in 2013. A critical aspect of all C3 efforts and Archdiocesan decisions include responsible fiscal stewardship, initial and long-term cost efficiencies and sustainability. C3 projects and programs continue to be reviewed, adjusted or adapted through discussion by the Archdiocesan working group as it was in the pilot program in 2010.
