The 2026 ARA Conference & Expo kicks off in Austin with an opening general session that sets the tone for three days of insight, innovation, and industry connection. The session opens with a keynote address by Brett Sciotto, CEO of Idealyst Innovation, titled "Harnessing the Storm."

ARA President & CEO Daren Coppock will then deliver his annual President's Report — an essential overview of the current state of the association, key trends emerging from ARA's membership, and a look at where the industry is headed.
