***UPDATE***

We are currently at capacity for the 2026 What the Hail? Conference.

Please sign up for the waitlist using the link below, and we will notify you immediately if/when a spot becomes available.

The 2026 WHAT THE HAIL? Conference will take place on February 12-13, 2026 at the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas. We’re sticking with our popular two-day seminar format: a full day on Thursday and a half day on Friday morning (12 TDI CE Credits total). As always, the majority of our content will focus on all the issues arising in Texas Hail Claims.

 

Thursday will feature the same fast-paced format with quick 20-30 minute sessions that attendees have loved at previous conferences. Friday will offer deeper, longer sessions, providing a more thorough exploration of key issues we’re facing today, such as appraisal, fraud, and concurrent causation.

 

To kick things off, we’ll host a Welcome Reception on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at Reservoir, located in the Toyota Music Factory complex. And, of course, we’ll be bringing back our legendary 80's Party on Thursday night! The evening will include a reception, dinner, arcade classics, and a live concert from the best 80’s cover band in the country, The Molly Ringwalds! Doors will open at 6:00 pm at the nearby The Rayleigh Underground. All events are within walking distance from the Westin Hotel and Irving Convention Center, which are directly across from one another.

 

Registration: You may register by clicking the button on the right side of this page or by clicking here. To help cover the significant costs of the event (including meals and the 80’s Party) and to prevent no-shows, there will be a $100 attendance fee. We trust most employers will cover this cost. However, if paying the fee would be a financial hardship, we offer a scholarship option. Simply enter the code "H41L26" when registering, and you’ll be able to attend free of charge.

 

Continuing Education: This education program has been approved for a total of 12.0 CE credits in the State of Texas (10.0 hours of general credit and 2.0 ethics). During registration, you will be asked to provide your Texas adjuster license number. Please ensure you only enter a Texas license number, not one from any other state.

 

When registering, you will also be asked to indicate which events you plan to attend: the Wednesday Welcome Reception, Thursday Conference, Thursday 80's Party, and Friday Conference. This helps us plan food and beverage quantities. If you’re no longer able to attend after registering, please notify us as soon as possible, as space is limited. Refunds will be issued up to 14 days before the event.

 

Hotel Information:  ***UPDATE**** We have sold out of the limited number of reserved discounted rooms at The Westin Irving Convention Center. Below is a list of hotels a short distance from Irving Convention Center.


We look forward to seeing you in February!
