2026 Communications School
NAGC 2026 Communications School

49th annual communications school

 

May 11-13, 2026
Greater Palm Springs, CA

 

 

 

Important Update: Due to unforeseen construction scheduled at the Riviera in Palm Springs, we have decided to move the event to a new venue, which will require a slight shift in dates. This change will ensure the best possible experience for our attendees. 

The 2026 NAGC Communications School will now take place May 11–13, 2026, at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Greater Palm Springs, California. Please note that the conference remains in the same week as originally planned, but will begin one day earlier, on Monday, May 11

This change allows us to provide improved accommodations, enhanced meeting space, and a setting that better supports the learning,
networking, and collaboration that define the Communications School. 

If you previously made a hotel reservation at the Riviera Palm Springs, your credit card will be refunded, and you should have received an email confirmation from the property.

More details including hotel reservations, registration, and updated event schedule will be shared with you in the coming weeks. 

 

Look back on 2025 Communications School, which was held in Pittsburgh, PA!
