SISO CEO Summit 2027 on Amelia Island: where to stay

The SISO CEO Summit brings together more than 500 senior leaders from the global show and event industry for four days on the Atlantic coast of Florida. The 2027 edition takes place at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, a luxury oceanfront resort just north of Jacksonville. Attendance is limited to C-level executives and decision-makers from independent for-profit organizers, which makes the summit one of the most concentrated networking opportunities in the trade show calendar. Sessions focus on growth strategy, data, M&A and the future of live events. Beyond the conference program, the summit is known for its informal deal-making: a significant share of industry acquisitions and partnerships originate in conversations held here. Expect candid peer exchanges rather than vendor pitches. Registration opens in November 2026. Attendees typically fly into Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) and stay on-site or at nearby Amelia Island resorts.
