The 2026 Affiliate Training & Conference will be held entirely at TownePlace Suites in Ames, Iowa. Holding the event in a hotel where many GOTG affiliates will be staying creates opportunities to extend the learning and networking beyond the official agenda. It’s our hope that you’ll benefit from the extra convenience of having your room nearby, and from casual time spent with other affiliates.
There are many hotels in the general area of TownePlace Suites, but if you’d like to reserve a TownPlace room at our pre-negotiated rate, please do so by this Thursday, February 5. Use the button below to be taken to the group reservation link.
