About the Event

PMEA is headed back to the Kalahari Resort & Convention Center in the Poconos for the 2026 Annual Conference.  You will see some changes that will help ALL members come together to learn, connect, and grow. Inspired by both the musical scale and the landscape, this year, we are “Scaling Heights,” to reach new levels—in your craft, your career, and your creativity.
