INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. — “Summit of Possibilities” will be the theme of this summer’s Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA) conference in nearby Asheville, N.C., the organization reports.

The 2026 Management & Educational Conference is scheduled for Aug. 2–5 at the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville.

The theme reflects both the conference’s mountain setting and TCATA’s forward-looking focus on innovation, leadership and opportunity within the textile care industry. Designed for manufacturers, distributors and allied trades professionals, TCATA says the 2026 conference will explore emerging trends, strategic growth and practical solutions to help companies navigate an evolving business landscape.

“Summit of Possibilities captures exactly where our industry is headed,” says Conference Chair Wes Nelson, president of Sankosha USA. “It’s about coming together to share ideas, challenge assumptions and uncover new opportunities that move our businesses and our industry forward.”

“Our annual conference is where collaboration and education intersect,” says TCATA President Mack Magnus. “In 2026, we’re excited to build on that tradition in a setting that inspires big thinking and meaningful connections.”

The Business Committee, chaired by Kristen Vos, executive vice president of R.R. Street & Co., is developing a robust educational program featuring timely and practical business insights, industry expertise and peer-to-peer engagement, TCATA says.

Additional details regarding speakers, sessions and registration will be released in the coming months.
