SUMMARY:2026 Leadership Summit
DESCRIPTION:ACCSES is excited to announce a new spin on our traditional Winter Summit with the 2026 ACCSES Leadership Summit.  Join us for three wonderful days in Phoenix at the Hyatt Place Downtown\, a spot we have enjoyed before and found perfectly sized for an ACCSES conference with no competing meetings in the same space.  That will allow us to focus on the important parts of the Summit – making connections\, building bonds\, educating\, and appreciating the company of friends old and new.  As this is a Leadership Summit\, we are encouraging both senior and mid-level staff to attend.  Our goal is to come away from the conference with mentor/mentee relationships developed deliberately or organically among attendees.  We are presently working on the agenda\, but we have developed a terrific topic list: \n\nThe Art of Negotiation\nLeadership in Action\nEtiquette 101\nThe Future of Work\nArtificial Intelligence in the Workplace: Making it Work for You\n\nOf course\, there will be numerous sessions directly related to issues affecting disability service providers and the people they serve.  It promises to be a tremendous learning opportunity.  On Friday\, December 4\, those who are interested will have an opportunity to visit Peckham’s beautiful new site in Phoenix.\nThe Leadership Summit pricing includes breakfast and lunch on Wednesday and Thursday\, two receptions – including a special event – and all-day coffee/tea and snacks.  We have an excellent room rate at the Hyatt of $ 239 per night.\nFor ACCSES members\, the Summit pricing is $749 for early bird registration (through October 15) and $849 thereafter.  Non-members will pay $899.  Registration and the Hotel Room Block will open soon\, so please watch for those announcements!
