65th Annual Convention
Location
The ELFA 65th Annual Convention is being held at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, located in Palm Desert, California, in the heart of the Coachella Valley, home to nearby Palm Springs and other popular resort communities – making it an easy drive from the greater Los Angeles area.
Three majestic mountain ranges provide a dramatic backdrop to the spectacular property and their championship golf courses. Situated on 450 acres of lushly landscaped grounds and lagoons, the JW Marriott Desert Springs is a sprawling oasis - offering a remarkable contrast to the stark beauty of the desert.
A block of rooms is being held for attendees of the 2026 ELFA Annual Convention at the JW Marriott Desert Springs, 74-855 Country Club Drive, Palm Desert, California, 92260.
