Questions people ask

The forum starts November 8, 2026.

It takes place at Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa in San Antonio, Texas.

The organizer lists higher education facilities leaders and industry vendors as attendee groups.

Vendors hoping for a trade show floor will get less, because the organizer says it is not a trade show, and facilities staff below the leadership level are unlikely to fit the invite list.

Higher ed facilities leaders at a resort forum usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or blazers, with relaxed resort styling in the evening. San Antonio in November is mild, so light layers are enough.
