EMERGE Planning in Lexington!

The RCMA team recently visited Lexington to plan for the 2026 Emerge Conference. Our hosts at VisitLEX gave us a fantastic preview of what attendees can expect!

We toured the Central Bank Center and Rupp Arena, an impressive, newly renovated venue with 100,000 square feet of exhibit space. We also explored Lexington’s vibrant food scene on the Bites of the Bluegrass Tour, sampling delicious farm-to-fork cuisine while learning about the city’s rich history.

The Kentucky Horse Park impressed us with its working farm exhibits, and the stunning Alltech Arena—a possible location for the Emerge 2026 opening reception. To top it off, we visited Spy Coast Farm, experiencing firsthand the world-class horse breeding and training that makes Lexington the Horse Capital of the World.

Lexington is set to be a perfect host for Emerge 2026. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to this incredible city!
