Friday, February 13 — Sunday, February 15, 2026
Big Sky, Montana
Mark your calendar and plan to attend!

Note that the Days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as opposed to our traditional Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.  The membership is hoping these dates provide more people with the opportunity to attend as you won’t have to be away from your office for as many days.
