WHY I’M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT 2026 CONFERENCES

I’ve always been a bit of a planner. I love a good countdown — whether it’s to my next birthday, my next overseas trip, or even the launch of a new project. Having a date circled gives me something to work towards, and slowly building up to it is half the fun.

That’s why, as we inch closer to the end of the year, my mind naturally jumps ahead to 2026. I know it may sound early — but trust me on this one. By the time December hits, most of us are running on fumes, wrapping up projects and dreaming about the beach or that first Long Island Iced Tea of the holidays. And the last thing anyone wants in January is to be scrambling to put together a big kick-off conference or team session.

Planning now means being intentional. It’s about having the space to ask: What message do we want to set for the year ahead? What energy do we want to create for our team? What’s going to motivate them to hit the ground running?

At STRONG PR, we’re especially excited about what’s to come in this space. We’ve been putting extra focus on our conference offerings, and while I can’t reveal too much yet, let’s just say there’s something exciting coming soon. 😉

For me, it’s also about peace of mind. I love knowing that by the time December arrives, the big pieces are already in place. It means I can actually switch off, enjoy the break, and come back in January ready to start STRONG.

So maybe this is just my inner planner talking, but if you haven’t started thinking about your early 2026 events yet, now’s the time. Your future self will thank you.
