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!

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 

There is something truly special about being in the same room as fellow advancement professionals  — sharing ideas over lunch, swapping strategies between sessions, and leaving with new friends who you can call on for support. That is exactly what we are building at the 2026 AeXIS Conference, June 15–16 in Santa Rosa — and this year's lineup of speakers and sessions is shaping up to be our best yet. Full session details are coming soon, and we promise they will be worth the wait.

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.”

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