There’s something that happens at Conclave that’s hard to put into words. The right conversation at the right moment, an idea that shifts how you think about your business, a connection you’ll still be talking about years later. That’s the energy of this event, and it’s built by the people who are there.
As you make your plans, here are a few opportunities worth adding to your itinerary.
Hands-On Horology with AWCI
The American Watchmakers and Clockmakers Institute will be at Conclave with the AWCI Archie Perkins Mobile Horology Classroom, and this year brings even more ways to engage.
Expert watchmakers will lead live demonstrations and hands-on sessions, giving you more chances to refine your technique, get your questions answered, and spend time with the tools and techniques that keep timepieces at their best.

Explore Something New: Conclave Excursions
Some of the best connections happen when you step away from the agenda. Excursions are a chance to get to know your peers in a completely different setting—and experience something new together.
Not sure what you want to do yet? Register for Conclave now and add excursions later. Just know that the airboat adventure is capped at 30 people, so if that one’s calling your name, don’t wait.

For Retailers: Wells Fargo Financing Fast Track
Tuesday, September 15 / 8:30 a.m.–11:15 a.m.
Spend the morning with your Wells Fargo Consumer Financing Team focused entirely on getting the most out of the AGS Credit Card Program—practical advice, easy-to-implement tactics, and a breakfast to kick things off.
Businesses that attend the full program receive $1,200 per firm in travel reimbursement.* Registration is first-come, first-served and limited to Retail Business members (max 200 attendees). Your business does not need to be enrolled in the AGS Credit Card Program to attend.
To register, add “Financing Fast Track” under the “Attendee Selections” tab of your Conclave registration. Already registered? Email [email protected].
*Reimbursement is limited to the first 100 firms that register and requires attendance at the full program as reported by Wells Fargo. For program merchants, Wells Fargo will direct deposit the reimbursement; for non-program merchants, AGS will reimburse via check to the primary firm member of record. A $25 fee applies to checks reissued due to incorrect information. Reimbursements are issued approximately 45 days after Conclave 2026.
The conversations, the ideas, the people you meet—that’s what stays with you long after Conclave ends. We hope to see you there!
