Over the next year, the U.S. 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 (“Snowmass Planning”) between October 2020 and the Community Summer Study on July 11-20, 2021 to achieve a successful report in October 2021. The program of the CPM will 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
• Make a work plan between CPM 2020 and CSS 2021.
