Each fall, CAI's Large-Scale Managers Committee hosts an annual workshop exclusively for community managers specializing in large-scale communities. The workshop is hosted by at least one large-scale community and participants spend three days touring properties and attending innovative education sessions specifically designed for the large-scale community manager.

A large-scale community is defined as a community providing municipal type services with a minimum of 1,000 units or minimum of 1,000 acres and a minimum of $2 million operating budget. 

The Workshop sells out quickly, and the 2021 workshop will be limited to 120 participants, so early registration is strongly recommended. Advanced registration (through February 15, 2021 – 60 days after registration is open) is limited to onsite large-scale general managers, assistant general managers and those with a current LSM designation.​
