NFPW Announces 2026 Conference Location:
Ellicott City, Maryland!
On the last day of the 2025 conference, President Julie Campbell announced the date and location of next year's NFPW Conference: September 24-26, 2026 at the lovely Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, Maryland.
At-large members from Maryland have volunteered to assist in the planning.
Turf Valley’s Erik Weinert described the location: “Nestled on 1,000 scenic acres in central Maryland’s Baltimore-Washington corridor, the resort is surrounded by beautiful landscapes. We are a relaxing destination for family getaways and corporate retreats.”
He continued, “Enjoy our many amenities that are located on the resort. Play two championship golf courses, rejuvenate at The Spa at Turf Valley, relax by the out- door pool and savor the local flavors at Alexandra’s American Fusion restaurant.
“Turf Valley is 20 miles from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Fort McHenry and the Baltimore Aquarium. Our resort is less than 40 miles from the historic monuments and landmarks of Washington D.C., including the White House, National Zoo and Smithsonian Museums.”
The resort’s land was once home to a thriving thoroughbred farm, contributing to Maryland’s rich equestrian history. Horse farms still surround Ellicott City, which boasts the historic Main Street full of 18th- and 19th- century architecture, shops, restaurants and galleries.
In late September, the horses will be racing at nearby Laurel Park, which will host the May 2026 Preakness Stakes.
For planning purposes, Turf Valley Resort is less than 30 minutes from Baltimore- Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and 90 minutes from both Reagan Washington Na- tional Airport (DCA) and Dulles International (IAD).
Amtrak and local train systems have stations near the BWI Airport also.
Save the dates and start planning for your visit to the “Free State” of Maryland and another year of camaraderie, celebration and learning with fellow NFPW members.
