ACE Connect 2026 starts November 18.

ACE Connect 2026 takes place at Dove Mountain.

The event is designed for current ACE Peer Group members and alumni, and its audience includes leaders.

It is worth it for owners and leaders in landscape companies who already belong to an ACE Peer Group or are alumni, since attendance is limited to them and the sessions are led by McFarlin Stanford and Grow Group executive coaches, with Marty Grunder among the speakers. Landscape owners outside the peer groups cannot attend, and those looking for an exhibit floor or product shopping would find little, as the sponsor list is short, with Rainbow Eco Science and emi Landscape.

Landscape business owners at a resort-based leadership retreat usually wear resort casual or business casual, such as collared shirts and slacks, with sun protection for daytime in the desert.
