2026 APCU Presidents Retreat

Expanding our Horizons to Welcome New Opportunities

November 16 – 18 | San Antonio, Texas

The 2026 APCU Presidents Retreat will be held at the Thompson San Antonio – Riverwalk, by Hyatt from November 16 through November 18. This year’s gathering will once again feature a series of member-led discussions around the challenges and opportunities facing our member institutions. Each of these discussions will take place behind closed doors and allow for casual, open dialogue and idea-sharing. In addition to topics such as dissecting a successful merger, and maintaining business continuity during significant interruptions, we’ll examine the outcomes of the Chaplains’ Certificate Program and the (positive) implications for participating institutions. Also, with APCU membership now open to our Presbyterian secondary schools and seminaries, we’ll spend some time getting to know these institutions and exploring ways we can develop mutually beneficial relationships.
