Lewiston, NY

Welcome to the 70th Anniversary AGLOW Conference!

We are incredibly excited to welcome everyone to this milestone celebration as we gather for AGLOW's 70th Anniversary. Reaching seventy years is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the dedication, loyalty, and passion of the members who have made this organization what it is today. Because of you, AGLOW has grown into something truly special, and we intend to celebrate this historic occasion like never before.

This is a conference you won't want to miss!

For just $200, your registration includes four fun-filled days of activities, fellowship, meals, and refreshments. You'll enjoy our legendary fishing tournament, educational seminars led by industry experts, exciting live and silent auctions, and countless opportunities to learn, laugh, and make lasting memories.

But more than anything, the AGLOW Conference is about reconnecting with the people who make this organization so unique. It's about spending time with cherished friends—or, as we proudly say at AGLOW, family.

Join us as we honor our past, celebrate our present, and look ahead to an exciting future. Come be part of this unforgettable 70th Anniversary celebration and help us make history together at AGLOW.
