FOA Professional Development Conference 2026 took place October 15–16, 2026.

It was held at Hilton Orlando in Orlando, Florida.

The cited audience included orchestra and music educators in Florida.

It was most useful for orchestra and music educators in Florida, since it was presented by FOA with Florida ASTA and was aimed at that teaching community. The keynote speaker, Bruce Walker, is a conductor, clinician and cellist who leads a youth symphony orchestra, which gave a practical classroom and rehearsal angle; educators outside Florida or outside string and orchestra teaching would have gotten less from a two-day regional event.

Music educators at professional development conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks, skirts or dresses and comfortable shoes, with instrument-related sessions sometimes calling for relaxed clothing.
