The Summer Educational Conference is the annual summer meeting of the Exhibition Services & Contractors Association (ESCA), the association representing exhibition service firms and contractors. The event rotates among scenic resort destinations each year: the 2025 conference was held in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, a 2026 edition followed, and the 2027 conference is scheduled for the Everline Resort & Spa in Lake Tahoe, California. ESCA is headquartered in the Chicago area (Mokena, Illinois).
400 Squaw Creek Rd.
Everline Resort & Spa is an upscale, all-season mountain resort at the base of Palisades Tahoe in Olympic Valley, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics. The property offers 405 rooms, suites, and rental lodgings with views of the Sierra Nevada, pine forests, and Olympic Valley meadows. On-site amenities include The Spa at Everline, an Oasis Pool Complex with multiple heated pools, a 24-hour fitness center with steam room and sauna, a Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed 18-hole championship golf course, tennis courts, an ice-skating rink, and multiple restaurants and bars with a farm-to-table focus. The resort has extensive meeting and event space, including a ballroom, business center, and roughly 47,750 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor function space spread across a large mountain campus.
The resort offers both valet and self-parking. Valet parking starts from about $40 and includes unlimited in-and-out privileges, while self-parking starts from about $30. Snow removal is provided for valet vehicles but not in the self-parking lot, so winter guests are advised to bring their own snow-removal tools.
The closest major airport is Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), roughly 45–48 miles away and about a 45–56 minute drive via I-80 and SR-267. Sacramento International (SMF) is about 116 miles away and San Francisco International (SFO) about 206 miles. All major rental-car companies operate at RNO from a consolidated ground-transportation center, and renting a car is the recommended way to reach the resort. The resort does not offer an airport shuttle, but it operates a private Black Car Service (7 a.m.–11 p.m.) between the resort, Tahoe City, Truckee, and Truckee Airport, and the concierge can arrange limo/shuttle service. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) is available from Reno but can be inconsistent for the long trip and subject to surge pricing, so it is best used as a backup.
The conference is hosted entirely at the Everline Resort & Spa, which serves as the primary lodging for attendees; booking a room on-site is the most convenient option and places you steps from all sessions and activities. Note that a daily resort fee (approximately $55, subject to change) applies to each room. Additional lodging is available in the nearby communities of Tahoe City (about a 10-minute drive) and Truckee, both a short drive from Olympic Valley.
The 2027 conference takes place June 27–30, 2027 at the Everline Resort & Spa in Lake Tahoe, located at 400 Squaw Creek Rd, Olympic Valley, CA 96146.
It is designed for professionals across the exhibition and live-events industry, including general service contractors, exhibit houses, suppliers, and show-management professionals. The program suits both first-time attendees and returning industry veterans looking to learn and network.
Over four days, attendees take part in expert-led educational sessions on industry trends, plus structured and casual networking, social events, and afternoon enrichment activities. Sessions can also count toward IAEE's Certified in Exhibition Management (CEM) continuing education.
Registration and updates are handled through the official conference website at sec.esca.org, which lists the agenda, speakers, and attendee information. You can also contact ESCA directly at events@esca.org or 972.777.9282, and downloadable justification letters are available to help gain employer approval.
Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) is the closest major airport, about a 45-minute drive; renting a car is recommended, though the resort offers a private Black Car Service. Most attendees stay on-site at Everline Resort & Spa, which offers 405 rooms and suites and full resort amenities.
