ABOUT THE EVENT
Sunshine, blue skies, and Gulf waters stretching to the horizon set the stage in Pensacola, Florida—a place where beauty and history are inseparable. Beneath the rolling tides and sugar-white sands lie the remains of the 1559 shipwrecks, silent witnesses to America’s earliest European settlement and a powerful story of exploration, endurance, and discovery. Shaped by storms and sea, Pensacola’s past continues to inspire those who gather here to reflect, connect, and look forward.
Join us May 3–7, 2026 in Pensacola Beach, Florida for the 2026 Executive Training Session. Designed to encourage education and meaningful networking, the conference brings together Tax Collectors and their Leadership Staff along with Valued Partners in a setting where learning flows as naturally as the Gulf breeze. The program will feature classroom-style instruction, breakout sessions, strategic planning workshops, and Department of Revenue–approved continuing education courses, along with dedicated time to engage with Valued Partners and explore the tools and services that support Tax Collectors’ essential work of delivering state services at the local level with an unparalleled committment to excellent customer service. Against a backdrop of coastal beauty and centuries-old maritime history, the 2026 Executive Training Session offers an opportunity to grow professionally while forging connections that endure.
We look forward to seeing you!
