The Meeting of the Minds 2026 conference isn’t just about sessions and sponsors — it’s where genuine connections are made. Every year, our community gathers not only to learn but to laugh, unwind, and celebrate what makes the 90 Minds network so special.
Whether you’re joining for the first time or returning for the 15th year, you’ll find plenty of ways to relax, recharge, and connect outside the classroom.
Join us for a relaxed, two-hour tasting experience at Vom Fass Coronado and Coronado Tasting Room, where conversation flows as easily as the pours.
This is a freestyle tasting social—no formal program, no guided flights. Just time and space to explore, connect, and enjoy.
Over the course of the evening, guests are invited to:
Whether you’re drawn to a glass of wine, curious about small-batch whiskey, or intrigued by infused oils and aged vinegars, this event is designed for wandering, tasting, and connection.

The Signature Social Event of Meeting of the Minds
Meeting of the Minds introduces a brand-new signature experience designed entirely around connection, atmosphere, and community.
The Thursday Night Beach Bonfire brings the conference together on the shoreline for an unforgettable evening of dinner, drinks, entertainment, and open-air socializing—set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. As the sun sets, fire pits glow, lounge seating fills the beach, and the night unfolds into a relaxed, high-energy gathering that feels effortless and fun.
There’s no schedule and no agenda—just an inviting space to unwind, catch up, and enjoy the community.
This isn’t a typical conference reception. The Thursday Night Beach Bonfire is intentionally designed to reflect the spirit of 90 Minds and Meeting of the Minds—authentic, people-first, and genuinely social.
No stage.
No formal networking.
Just a shared experience that feels natural, memorable, and uniquely ours.
Event details will be shared in the conference app and onsite materials.
