Lexington, Kentucky: Where Connections Are Made, and Relationships Flourish
As a member of the community, I can tell you we are delighted to welcome SETC to Lexington, Kentucky, March 3-7, 2027!
Lexington is more than a place on the map. It is a destination where people come together, friendships grow, and lasting professional relationships are formed. Nestled in the heart of Kentucky's beautiful Bluegrass region, Lexington offers a unique blend of Southern charm, genuine hospitality, and a vibrant creative spirit that makes everyone feel at home.
Known as the Horse Capital of the World, Lexington is surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and rich traditions and is also a thriving center for education, healthcare, innovation, and business. It is a city that honors its heritage while embracing new ideas, making it the perfect setting for SETC.
Whether you're attending workshops, performances, auditions, or networking events, you'll find that Lexington invites you to slow down, engage, and connect. Our walkable downtown is filled with welcoming hotels, locally owned restaurants, craft breweries, coffee shops, and legendary bourbon experiences, creating countless opportunities to continue conversations long after the sessions have ended.
What truly makes Lexington special is its people. The city is large enough to offer outstanding venues and amenities, yet small enough to feel comfortable, friendly, and accessible. Here, you'll find space to share ideas, celebrate accomplishments, discover new opportunities, and build meaningful connections with colleagues from across the region.
Even better, all festival venues and the convention center are located within a six-block area, making it easy to enjoy every aspect of the conference while exploring the energy and charm of downtown Lexington.
SETC in Lexington will be more than a conference. It will be a gathering of artists, educators, students, and professionals coming together in a place that inspires creativity, encourages collaboration, and creates memories that last long after the final curtain call.
We can't wait to welcome you to Lexington and share the warmth, creativity, and hospitality that make our city so special. See you in March 2027!
