The Time When CSC Live 2025 Was Held in Downtown Stockton

By Andy Nguyen

This year’s Annual CodeStack Conference Live took place here in Downtown Stockton. It is a three-day event where each year, hundreds of educators from California and beyond come to CSC Live to network, learn, and grow in the work they do for students. This event was a great achievement for Codestack – with many attendees not only learning and networking with like-minded peers, but also experiencing the highlights of Downtown Stockton.

CodeStack Supporting Today’s Education

CodeStack is a high-tech software development organization which operates as a department of the San Joaquin County Office of Education (SJCOE), a public agency.

CodeStack is focused on web, mobile, and software application development; graphic and multimedia design; and video production. It works with public agencies across the state and nation and has developed over 20 SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications used by over 5,000 school districts nationwide.

“We are true to our educator roots and it is part of our mission to serve education and our community.” – Donna Williamson, Project Management Office and Support Services Director.

The Beauty of CSC Live 2025

Williamson expresses how life-changing connections with peers can fuel pathways for creating a better education: “We get feedback from our partners throughout the year, but the conference is a great way for us to really get to know each other. This understanding of education and the needs of our schools helps us to update our products.”

Hosting CSC Live 2025 in Downtown Stockton

Hosting the conference in Downtown Stockton holds significant meaning to CodeStack, as this is their hometown. It provides an opportunity to showcase what Stockton has to offer.

Many attendees got to walk the Joan Darrah promenade neighboring the Weber Point Waterfront throughout the day. In the evenings, they got to relax and have fun through the various food, drinks, activities, and fireworks held at the Banner Island Ballpark. At the end of each day, they could walk back to their rooms at the University Plaza Waterfront Hotel, a mere few steps away from everything listed above.

Additionally, a ceremonial groundbreaking event was held during the final day of CSC Live, where community leaders and elected officials joined the SJCOE to kick off the restoration of 201 N. California Street in Downtown Stockton—the future headquarters of CodeStack and CodeStack Academy.

History in the Books

CSC Live 2025 had 600 attendees from all across California experience the beautiful highlights of Downtown Stockton, home of CodeStack. From educational workshops, peer-to-peer networking, and the fun end-of-the-day activities held each day, this conference was a success and one to remember.
