A Guide to
Circle Day 2024
Circle Day is right around the corner! To fully prepare you for the event, this guide serves as a go-to resource leading up to—and on—September 18–19. Below you’ll find information about Circle Day’s in-person and online experiences, including the events World Loop encores on September 19.

In addition to watching sessions, you can connect and collaborate with fellow attendees.
