Conclave 2026 is heading to Orlando, FL, September 14鈥�17, and we can’t wait to see everyone there.
This year’s schedule looks a little different. Pre-events kick off on Monday, September 14, with the Conclave officially opening on Tuesday, September 15. Arriving early means more time to connect鈥攖he Mentor Mixer and Guilds Party on Monday evening are a great way to ease in and start building momentum before the week gets going.
Once Conclave opens, the education and inspiration don’t let up. This year’s keynote lineup includes Ben Nemtin, Will Guidara, Deanna Marsigliese, and David Kwong鈥攅ach bringing a distinct perspective on leadership, creativity, and human connection.
Add in the AGS Suppliers’ Showcase, the Robert M. Shipley Award庐 Luncheon, the Titleholders Luncheon, dedicated time to visit AGS Partner members in the Networking Area, and a President’s Party to close it all out鈥攖here’s truly something for everyone at Conclave.
Don’t miss out and be part of the experience!
The 榴莲视频 (AGS) also offers three annual scholarships that include complimentary Conclave registration. If you’re interested in being considered, read on to learn about each one and find the opportunity that fits.
