Welcome to River Rally 2026!

We are excited to gather our Network on the banks of the San Antonio River in Texas this May 11-14, 2026. 

River Rally is being hosted at the The Westin Riverwalk, San Antonio. We will be updating the website with room block and travel information shortly.

General registration for River Rally opens on February 4, 2026.

Become a network member to stay up to date on the latest River Rally news, including scholarships, registration, travel information, program release, and more. River Network Premium Members receive a 40% discount on River Rally registration!

Apply for a Scholarship, Nominate an Emerging Leader or River Hero

You can apply for a scholarship or nominate someone (including yourself) for an award through February 25, 2026.

For scholarships: Our hope is for attendees to express their need for assistance before confirming their attendance. As we allocate scholarship funds, River Network team members will notify recipients of their award amount and confirm their ability to attend.

For award nominations: River Network’s awards, presented at River Rally, are designed to recognize the great progress happening by champions across the network and offer these champions our appreciation and celebration.

We are no longer accepting session or speaker solicitations for River Rally.

River Network changed how we hosted our call for proposals this year. From October-January we collected feedback from the Network to curate an impactful and responsive learning experience, and highlight Network members doing excellent work! Thank you for your submissions!
