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
