Welcome to the 2026 Summer Development Conference!

July 7th - 12th, 2026, at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center

This year’s conference theme, “Relentless Pursuit - Own It,” celebrates the unwavering drive, discipline, and commitment that Raymond James advisors bring to their businesses and, most importantly, their clients. It's a tribute to the grit you demonstrate every day as you push forward, elevate your practice, and pursue excellence with purpose. This year, we aim to fuel that momentum even further, inspiring you to own every opportunity ahead of you.

Aurora is the Gateway to the Rockies and one of Colorado’s premier destinations for convention, business, and leisure travel. Create a Colorado experience you will never forget, as the Rocky Mountains serve as your backdrop during your meeting. Bring your family and discover the great outdoors, eateries, shopping, special events, and entertainment options that create lifetime memories. Aurora is filled with unique attractions, activities, and must-sees.

Grab a bite at one of Aurora’s 400+ international eateries, visit must-sees for the whole family, including Stanley Marketplace, and explore more than 8,000 acres of open space that beckon a truly unique Colorado experience.

Enjoy your stay in Aurora, Colorado!
