A High-Traffic Layout Designed for Maximum Engagement

We are excited to unveil an early look at the general exhibition layout for Elevate 2026, and trust us, this year’s experience is going to be unforgettable. After a couple of months planning and collaboration with the world-class Hotel del Coronado events team, we have secured the entire Founders Hall Event Complex as the exclusive home of the Elevate 2026 conference and exhibition.

One unified space

No separation between attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors

A buzzing, high-energy environment from morning to night

A Layout Built for Impact

Founders Ballroom | 11.5K Square Foot | 1,000 Capacity

The Founders Hall Event Complex has been designed with intentional flow to elevate every exhibitor and sponsor.

Visibility + Engagement + Foot traffic

By anchoring the entire conference inside the Founders Hall Event Complex, exhibitors and sponsors are positioned in the true heart of Elevate, where every attendee interaction becomes an opportunity.

Mandatory attendee pathway

Every attendee will walk through the Exhibit Hall to enter the General Session. That means every keynote, breakout, and major session guarantees full foot traffic directly past your booth.

An Immersive Experience

A fully connected Exhibit Hall and Main Stage General Session ballroom will bring the ultimate conference flow, creating one seamless, high-energy environment. This design keeps foot traffic constant, engagement high, and the Elevate experience unified and electric, exactly the way it should be.

Elevate 2025 wasn’t just a conference, it was a MOVEMENT. For three unforgettable days at the legendary Hotel del Coronado, leaders, innovators, and change-makers from across the workers’ compensation world came together with one mission: to redefine what this industry’s gatherings can be. And wow – we delivered. When preparation meets opportunity, magic happens.

Wednesday Night: The 3rd Annual Karaoke for a Cause roared back, benefiting Hazel’s Hands, founded by Dr. Tyrone Spears. Industry icons became rock stars. Together, we raised thousands for foster care and at-risk youth and had the time of our lives doing it!

Thursday Morning: Enter Coach Tyler Gillum, Head Coach of the world-famous Savannah Bananas. His keynote hit like lightning, daring us to embrace creativity, seize opportunities, and bet on ourselves. Just hours later, he and the Bananas brought that same energy to a SOLD-OUT Petco Park, proving that when you seize the moment, you can ignite not just a stadium, but an entire industry.

Thursday Afternoon: We made history with the very first Changemaker© Award Ceremony, presented by the Deconstructing Comp Podcast. This beautiful new tradition celebrates the leaders breaking barriers, driving progress, and inspiring true change in our industry.

Thank You, Sponsors & Exhibitors! Special appreciation to our Visionary Sponsor HUB International our Trailblazer Sponsor Agile Occupational Medicine. Your support is the heartbeat of this event, and this conference thrives because of you.

Cheers to the Education Committee! Led by Yvonne Guibert, with members Carlos Luna, Felicia Amenta, Sandy Avina, Stuart Colburn, Rafael Gonzalez, Hon Robert Rassp, Michelle SebringJoseph Sousa, Dawn Watkins, Scynthia Syfrett, and William Zachry – you created one of the most powerful lineups we have ever seen.

This past year proved that when opportunity knocks, we answer with energy, heart, and impact. This isn’t just about conferences. This is about championing the future of Work Comp, empowering leaders, and showing the NEXT GENERATION that our industry isn’t just IMPORTANT, it’s COOL!

Keep supporting one another, keep pushing boundaries, and keep Elevating!

Location, location, location

Just steps from the magnificent Pacific Ocean, the Hotel Del Coronado offers breathtaking beach views, iconic sunsets, and historic architecture all in one place. Think beach walks with colleagues before and after sessions, morning coffee with an ocean breeze, and evenings under the stars with industry friends.

An iconic destination

Be among the first to experience the Del after a stunning $550M restoration spanning six years, including full revitalization of the hotel’s famed Victorian building and upgraded resort amenities.

A destination in itself

The Del offers a one-of-a-kind, resort-style experience where every detail—from the rooms to the grounds—feels like a retreat. Come early or stay late to unwind at the Del Spa and Salon, play a round of golf, or enjoy boating and other water activities in beautiful Glorietta Bay. New dining options on the property include Nobu Del Coronado and Veranda, along with several other fantastic spots: Serea, ENO Market & Pizzeria, Babcock & Story Bar, the Taco Shack, and Sundaes—home to gourmet gelato and hand-crafted paleta popsicles!

More than a conference—it's a memory

Just steps from the magnificent Pacific Ocean, the Hotel Del Coronado offers breathtaking beach views, iconic sunsets, and historic architecture all in one place. Think beach walks with colleagues before and after sessions, morning coffee with an ocean breeze, and evenings under the stars with industry friends.

Consider Sharing A Room

If the room price exceeds your company’s budget, consider sharing a room with a friend to make the experience more affordable and even more memorable.

It has been our dream to bring the ELEVATE® conference to this historic hotel, and we believe the Del’s iconic coastal setting reflects the quality of the program we’ve built—and expanded to two full days. We can’t wait for you to experience it with us.
