Out With the NEW and in With the OLDBy Angela Holland | President, GACS Yes, I know that seems backwards, but that is exactly what we are doing. The organization is reverting to its traditional event schedule. After experimenting with a different schedule in recent years, the annual meeting and convention will return to early summer, and the trade show will be held in the fall, starting in 2026. This “old,” tried and true schedule has been successful for decades, so your attendance and participation are encouraged as these changes take effect. Benefits of Attending GACS Events:
Don’t wait. Check out our 2026 events calendar and sign up early! Reserve your spot, connect with colleagues, and make the most of everything GACS has to offer!
