Guild Con 2026 is a hands-on balloon decor training event focused on professional production, install standards, and team-based execution. Designed for decorators and business owners, the event emphasizes real builds, scalable systems, and practical skills that translate to both social and corporate environments.

Over four days, attendees will participate in instructor-led classes and hands-on builds covering professional construction methods, install workflows, venue-safe practices, and scalable design approaches. Training is designed to support both individual decorators and full production teams, with an emphasis on skills that staff members can realistically learn and implement.

The event also addresses how balloon decor functions as part of a larger brand experience, whether for corporate events, social celebrations, or milestone occasions. Attendees will see how concepts can scale up or down while maintaining quality, efficiency, and visual impact.

Guild Con 2026 takes place in Kissimmee, Florida, with programming structured to balance hands-on learning, collaboration, and practical discussion. The goal is to leave attendees with clearer systems, stronger production confidence, and tools they can immediately apply in their businesses.

Guild Con 2026 is hosted entirely at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista South, creating a “zero-commute” event experience.
