TLMI has opened registration for its 2026 Annual Meeting, to be held at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with early bird member pricing of 1,395 USD available through August 31, 2026.

The event, themed Built for Monday: Ideas You Can Put to Work Immediately, will feature a state of the industry discussion, an economic update, sustainability sessions focused on liner recycling, speed networking and a leadership keynote. The inaugural Calvin Frost Sustainability Leadership Awards story highlights will also feature on the program.

Early-bird pricing closes on August 31, after which the standard member rate rises to 1,525 USD. Guest registration is available at 995 USD and non-member registration at 2,295 USD.

'The record attendance at Annual Meeting 2025 demonstrated that our members view TLMI as much more than an association they belong to,' said Dale Coates, CEO and president of TLMI. 'Annual Meeting 2026 is being intentionally designed around that promise.'

'If attendees can't take something back and put it to work next week, then we haven't done our job,' noted Mark Glendenning, chairman of the TLMI board of directors. 'Every element of the program is intentionally designed to help members strengthen their businesses and prepare for what's ahead.'

'Whether attendees are looking for economic insight, sustainability solutions, leadership development, or the opportunity to connect with peers facing similar challenges, they will leave with practical ideas they can put to work immediately,' added Kristin Yerecic Scott, chair-elect of TLMI.
