Conclave is one of the most anticipated benefits of AGS membership—a time to learn from leaders, connect with peers, and celebrate our shared commitment to excellence.
Join us in Orlando, FL, September 14–17, 2026, at the Omni Orlando at ChampionsGate. This year, Conclave is on a different schedule, with pre-events starting on Monday, September 14th, and Conclave officially kicking off on Tuesday, September 15th.
Built for AGS members, Conclave gives you the space to focus on what matters most in your professional life. You’ll leave with practical strategies you can use right away, stronger relationships, and a few new faces you’ll be glad you met.
This year’s lineup includes four inspiring keynote speakers covering leadership, service, creativity, and a touch of magic—plus meaningful networking moments that strengthen relationships and spark new ideas.
Members love the friendly, no-pressure setting. When an event helps you grow and genuinely enjoy yourself, it’s worth the trip. Come see for yourself this September. Visit ags.org/conclave to learn more and register today!
