======  Community Planning Meeting (virtual) ======

Over the next year, the particle physics community will be engaged in Snowmass 2021, an in-depth process to define the most important questions for our field and to identify promising opportunities to address these questions in a global context. 

The primary goal of the Community Planning Meeting is **to develop plans and steps to take (“Snowmass Planning”) between October 2020 and the Snowmass Community meeting in July 2021, leading to a final report in October 2021.**   

Other goals  include:
  * Inspire the community about the field, and encourage them to engage broadly in the Snowmass process 
  * Inform the community about plans from other regions and from related fields and about current and planned Snowmass activities broadly
  * Listen to the community
  * Provide space for members across the field to talk to each other, and to discuss, promote and develop new ideas
  * Establish cross working-group connections and identify gaps
