First up is one of our biggest requests in recent years – we will not be hosting an exhibit hall in a separate convention center, we will be hosting an exhibitor showcase in the hotel on the same floor as all general conference sessions! With this we have made some adjustments and we will have exhibitors in both the ballroom and the prefunction space where attendees will be able to visit in between sessions with breaks being increased from 15 minutes to 30 minutes!
We’re kicking things off on Wednesday February 4, 2026 with a VIP reception for Accredited Members, Conference Presenters, and Association Volunteers from 5:00p to 7:00p and at 7:00p we will open up the showcase for all attendees for a Welcome Reception which will run until 9:00p.
Thursday morning we start bright and early with attendee orientation at 8:30a and then a “Choose Your Challenge” style morning! We will have a variety of Open Forums for you to meet and learn from others in comparable fields, check out the vendors in the exhibitor showcase opening at 9:30a and view product demonstrations kicking off promptly at 9:30a and continuing every half hour until 12:00p in the ballroom. The exhibitor showcase will remain open through lunch which will be from 12:00p until 2:00p. Dedicated evening showcase time will be from 5:00p until 7:00p with additional demo slots from 5:00p until 6:30p. We will keep the showcase open during afternoon sessions, meaning the showcase will be open from 9:30a – 7:00p on Thursday February 5th. Lunch will not be served in the exhibit space this year. There will be food trucks parked outside of the hotel each day to provide a variety of options. Since lunch will be on your own this year, we have increased the break from 1 hour, to 2 so that you have ample time to eat!
Friday February 6th the showcase will be open from 9:30a until 2:00p with dismantle beginning immediately after and registration beginning for the Over The Edge Rappelling event! We’re rappelling 14 stories off the roof of our host hotel, The Omni OKC, onto the pool deck! A Rapp Party is planned to begin at roughly 5:00p, thanks to the sponsorship of Challenge Works and Hibbs Hallmark & Company! More to come on how you can secure your opportunity to go Over The Edge!
There are no exhibitor showcase hours on Saturday February 7th, but we will have the Awards Ceremony that evening where we will announce winners of annual awards, harnessing, and silent auction!
Harnessing ACCT will be coming back so stay tuned on how you can register prior to the event as we will be posting missions for you to complete on your journey to the venue! So get your teams ready!
We hope you’ll join us because we can’t wait for you to see everything we have in store! Registration is opening soon!
