2026 Convention
Sep 3, 2026 - Sep 6, 2026 | Madison, WI
NOW NOT TOMORROW
We are excited to welcome you to the 2026 Annual Convention — a weekend dedicated to learning, leadership, connection, and the continued growth of our sport. This year’s theme, *Now, Not Tomorrow*, is a call to action for coaches, athletes, officials, and leaders alike to embrace the present moment, pursue excellence with urgency, and make an impact today rather than waiting for tomorrow. Together, we will celebrate our community, share ideas, and inspire one another to take the next step forward — starting now.
Coaches, are you registered for Convention? Simply by attending, you will be entered to win an iGarden Swim Jet P100.
