Conference Location Details

Waterville Valley Resort
Waterville Valley, New Hampshire, USA
May 31-June 5, 2026

The Town of Waterville Valley is nestled deep within the White Mountains. With breathtaking locales at every turn and intersection, Waterville Valley lies within the shadows of 4000-foot mountain peaks, which are visible from almost anywhere in the village. There’s only one road in & out of Waterville Valley. There’s no passing-through, – Waterville Valley is a final destination. This level of seclusion offers families of all ages serenity, privacy, and safety.

The town is completely encircled by 770,000 acres of protected National Forest land. Despite being among such vast wilderness, Waterville Valley has a welcoming small-town feel. Activities, shops, lodging, and dining are all clustered around Town Square, which is widely considered the heart of the town. This quaint, village center lies on the shores of Corcoran Pond and boasts incredible views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Old-school New England charm is palpable, especially with the colonial-style architecture.

During the Summertime, Town Square becomes a hub for events – visitors, locals, and longtime community members gather for live music on the Gazebo Stage, food festivals, fireworks, outdoor movie nights, and outdoor activities for all ages. Pedal boats, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards can be rented right from the dock.
