New dates!
The 2026 U.S. Go Congress is moving up one week. New dates: 2026-07-25..2026-08-01
As some of you may recall from my July blog post, the venue contract was still being finalized at that time. Unfortunately, those plans didn't come together, and securing a new location required the schedule shift. I apologize to anyone who made travel or hotel reservations based on the earlier August dates.
The new venue will be announced soon. What I can tell you now: it's going to be a great congress.
Early Registration!
Watch for registration announcements. Accommodation registration may open before the end of this year, with full congress registration as early as January. On-site space is limited, but if enough people register early, we may be able to secure additional rooms. So we'll be encouraging early registration, and you should too.

Everything else you know about Boston 2026 still holds: the U.S. Open, pro commentary and exhibitions, lectures and workshops, youth program, nightly social play, and over $20,000 in prizes. We're bringing the Congress to New England, just one week earlier than planned. Boston-2016 was the biggest congress yet. We're hoping to make this one even bigger, and the best ever.
More announcements coming soon.
