Each year, over 5,000 attendees from across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada come together to grow professionally, expand their networks, and engage with industry-leading organizations committed to advancing diverse talent.

The ALPFA Convention offers different programming formats that empower attendees to connect, learn, and grow. Refer to the key below as you review the itinerary to understand each type of program and its general format.

This year’s convention centers on a powerful truth: leadership is about taking ownership of your growth, practicing consistency, and having the courage to reimagine the systems you navigate.

We are exploring three pillars that define today’s most transformative leaders:

1. Agency: Leading from Ownership Leaders recognize what’s within their control and use that power intentionally to shape outcomes, relationships, and systems.

2. Discipline: Practicing Mastery Through Consistency Leaders understand that excellence is a daily practice—showing up, learning, and staying focused on long-term impact even when motivation fades.

3. Disruption: Redesigning Systems Leaders navigate existing structures, and have the courage to rebuild them with empathy, inclusion, and innovation at the core.

Whether you’re a student designing your future, a professional designing the next stage of your career, or an executive designing your legacy, the 2026 Convention gives you the blueprint to move from self-growth to influence.
