California Main Street Conference 2026

The annual CAMS Conference is an opportunity for commercial district revitalization leaders to explore Main Street Approach best practices, identify key trends, and discover new economic development strategies for their cities and towns.
Our conference theme The Next Wave of Main Street explores the future of commercial districts in California through innovation, small business support and community growth.
Located in North San Diego County, Carlsbad offers a polished yet relaxed beach-city atmosphere. Known for its ocean-view resorts, vibrant State Street shopping corridor, celebrated dining scene, and thoughtfully curated, art-filled public spaces, it strikes a balance between refinement and coastal charm. Carlsbad is both a world-class tourist destination and, at heart, an easygoing Southern California surf town.
The CAMS 2026 Conference is hosted by California Main Street and Carlsbad Village Association and made possible with support from Main Street America, Square, California Office of Historic Preservation, Geocentric, Visit California, and National Trust for Historic Preservation
HOW TO GET INVOLVED:
- Registration is now open. Rates increase October 1.
- Sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are available.
- Call for sessions is now open. Deadline June 30.
We look forward to welcoming you to Carlsbad!
