Monthly meetings are held at various locations around Utah during the school year. Information is also shared via the C-Forum mailing list (C-Forum - Utah Education Network. 2008).
 
C-Forum is hosted by the Utah Education Network. It's monthly meetings rotate to different locations with in Utah's school districts.   Some other educational organizations such as the Utah Education Network (UEN), Utah State Office of Education (USOE), Regional Resource Centers, Utah Coalition for Educational Technology (UCET), and other state agencies also support and participate in C-Forum.
