Conclave 2026

Join us in recognizing our new and milestone credentialed members of the Society at the annual Titleholders Luncheon! AGS credentials set members apart by demonstrating their commitment to continuing education and superior business ethics. We will also present the Young Titleholder of the Year award, a prestigious honor for one of the Society’s emerging leaders.

As a special treat, enjoy a quick, 45-minute keynote presentation by David Kwong. Magician and New York Times Crossword constructor David Kwong has delighted audiences worldwide with his signature blend of illusion and puzzles, and as a TED Talk favorite, he regularly speaks to companies on the science of why our brains are fooled and how perception shapes decision-making. He served as head magic consultant for the global hit "Now You See Me," and his acclaimed one-man show, "The Enigmatist," has sold out in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. Drawing from his book Spellbound: Seven Principles of Illusion to Captivate Audiences and Unlock the Secrets of Success, David delivers entertaining, insight-packed keynotes on illusion, influence, persuasion, and getting a step ahead—and also designs custom team-building puzzle experiences for organizations.
