Who convenes the field?
Each Conference on Community Writing program lists the people the conference put on its stages: who chaired, who presented, who facilitated, and from which institutions. This page counts them, edition by edition, for the six editions in the corpus, 2015 to 2025.
These are people listed in the program, not registrants or attendees. The conference meets in odd years, so the even years are empty by design. The 2025 edition is only partly public: its four DeepThink Tanks and one keynote speaker are here, and the rest of the schedule sits behind a registration portal, so its counts are far too low. Shaded bands on the chart mark those breaks. How to read these numbers.

By year
Each year opens that conference's program. Institutions are matched by their printed form to the ones the other readers in this archive already hold; the share outside the US uses listings whose institution matched, and is blank where a program prints none.

“First listed” counts people whose first listing in this corpus is that year, so early years run high. Names are joined only on an exact match; no reviewed merges have been made for the Conference on Community Writing yet.
