14th Annual

Rendezvous

July 20 - 23, 2026 | Boulder, Colorado

Cultivating Humanity:
Flourishing in a Complex World

Join Professionals Representing More than 20 Disciplines for Collaborative Dialogue, Keynotes, and Breakout Sessions.

Reconnect and engage with colleagues from across the country while enjoying exceptional programming.

Navigating Change: Building Capacity. Empowering Wellbeing.

This year’s theme, Navigating Change: Building Capacity. Empowering Wellbeing, emerged from the understanding that the pace of change is accelerating and can be overwhelming. We can’t get ahead of it, and we can’t manage it alone. Through connection and collaboration, we can go from struggle to strength, expand capacity, and empower wellbeing in ourselves and our clients.

We invite you to join us to gain transformative insights, strengthen your practice, and build deeper connections within a community of forward-thinking professionals.

In past years, we have sold out and closed registration early.  We encourage you to register early to secure your spot.
