Join us June 15–16, 2026, in beautiful Santa Rosa, CA—right in the heart of Wine Country—for the annual Advancement Exchange for Independent Schools (AeXIS) Conference!

REGISTER HERE!

This is where independent school advancement professionals come together to connect, grow, and lead. We’re thrilled to be hosted by Sonoma Academy & Sonoma Country Day School in Santa Rosa, CA

Mark your calendar now, because this year we're gathering in the heart of Wine Country for two days of the connections, strategies, and energy that make AeXIS conferences unforgettable. Fresh sessions. New perspectives. The same practical, specific, "how to actually do it" approach you loved—plus the colleagues who get your work and the inspiration to fuel your next fiscal year. Whether you're a one-person shop or bringing your entire advancement team, you'll find sessions tailored to your needs—and leave with a network of colleagues who truly understand your work.

Here’s what attendees said about the 2025 AeXIS Conference at Harbor Day School in Newport Beach:

• “I can't remember the last time I left a conference so jazzed!”
• “This was, by far, the most useful and inspiring conference I've ever been to!”
• “There was such a level of specificity and thoughtfulness to the sessions, and I felt like I had real, practical things I can do next fiscal year (i.e., not just the ‘what to do,’ but also the ‘how to actually do it’).”
• “The conference was amazing; I will definitely be back next year!”
• “Bravo to the AeXIS team for yet another incredible conference—seamlessly run, beautifully curated, and filled with purpose.”

Looking ahead to 2026:
Next year’s gathering will build on the energy and insights from this year, promising fresh perspectives, engaging conversations, and meaningful connections.

More details to come, we hope you can join us!
