Leadership Summit 2026

Recharge Your Leadership. Reignite Your Purpose.

Leadership doesn’t happen in isolation—and it doesn’t grow in routine environments. NIGP Leadership Summit 2026 is more than an event. It’s a carefully curated, high-impact experience where learning, connection, and inspiration come together under the wide-open skies of the Sonoran Desert.

This year, we’re gathering at El Conquistador, a stunning Hilton resort nestled in the heart of Tucson, Arizona, where natural beauty meets authentic leadership. It’s the perfect backdrop to recharge, reconnect, and reignite your purpose as a leader—an experience that melds groundbreaking leadership insights, fresh perspectives, and the unique spark that comes from human connection that taps into the power of people and place.

It’s not just about developing your leadership. It’s about renewing your perspective, recharging your source of energy, and reconnecting with purpose—while surrounded by the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Southwest.
