Welcome to the Queen City

We're incredibly excited to bring the 2026 Annual Meeting to Charlotte, one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. This year, we've designed our agenda to provide opportunities throughout the meeting for you to learn about Charlotte's people, neighborhoods, history and culture. 

Experiencing Charlotte

Add these site visits, salon dinners and optional activities to your agenda – many of these will sell out, so add them now to guarantee your spot!

Host Hotel

The Westin Charlotte, located in the city's Uptown District, will be your home base throughout the Annual Meeting. You'll also be steps away from many of the city's attractions and dining.

Rooms at the Westin are available to Annual Meeting attendees at a special discounted rate. Once you register, you'll be sent a confirmation email that will include a link you can use to make your reservation.
