2026 EMerald Coast Conference

What You Need to Know Before You Go!

Registration opens bright and early at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, June 1, 2026! All events will be held at the Linkside Conference Center at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort — because learning is even better with a beach view.

Attire: Beach Business Casual

What exactly does Beach Business Casual mean? Simple: wear what makes you happy and comfortable!

Think shorts and Hawaiian shirts, khakis and sport coats, sundresses, polos — or somewhere in between. This isn’t a fashion show; it’s the beach!

Come ready to learn, connect, and enjoy the coastal atmosphere in whatever feels best for you.

Comfort is the dress code. Sunshine is the bonus.
