Groomcation 2026 Full Run-down
A Private Luxury Retreat for Professional Dog Groomers
May 18–21, 2026 | The Stallion Estate | Indio, California
Groomcation 2026 is a private, luxury retreat created exclusively for professional dog groomers who want more than a traditional grooming conference.
This is not about rushing between lectures, sitting in crowded rooms, or leaving overwhelmed and exhausted. Groomcation is intentionally designed to blend education, connection, rest, and real access into one immersive experience—set in a stunning private estate in the California desert.
This isn’t a conference. It’s an experience.
What Is Groomcation?
Groomcation is a small, intimate luxury groomer retreat designed for dog
grooming professionals who are ready to invest in themselves—not just their technical skills.
Unlike traditional grooming expos or conferences, Groomcation focuses on:
• Meaningful education without burnout
• Real conversations and authentic connection
• A calm, supportive environment that encourages growth
Here, learning happens differently.
Time slows down.
Conversations matter.
The environment itself supports growth.
This is real access.
Education at Groomcation is woven naturally into the experience through shared discussions, demonstrations, group conversations, and real access to educators—without pressure or overload.
A Different Kind of Grooming Education
At Groomcation, education doesn’t feel forced.
There are no packed lecture halls or rushed schedules. Instead, learning happens through:
• Intentional group discussions
• Shared experiences and demonstrations
• Open conversations with educators and peers
• Space to absorb, reflect, and apply what you learn
This retreat-style approach allows groomers to learn deeply, connect genuinely, and return home feeling inspired—not drained.
Who Groomcation Is For
Groomcation is designed for groomers who:
• Want meaningful education without burnout
• Value connection, community, and real conversation
• Are ready to invest in personal and professional growth
• Prefer intentional, small-group experiences over crowded expos
Groomcation is intentionally kept small and intimate to preserve the quality of the experience.
When spots are gone, they’re gone.
The Venue: The Stallion Estate, Indio California

What the Groomcation Experience Feels Like
Imagine starting your day with coffee by the pool, engaging in meaningful education throughout the afternoon, and ending the evening under the desert sky surrounded by fellow groomers who truly understand your world.
Groomcation is intentionally designed with balance in mind:
Curated social events
Structured education during the day
Time to connect, relax, and unwind in the evenings
No rushing, no chaos—just space to enjoy the experience
This retreat allows you to step away from daily demands and fully immerse yourself in learning, connection, and renewal.
Why Groomcation Is Different
Most grooming conferences and expos focus on volume.
Groomcation focuses on quality.
This retreat is about:
• Depth over quantity

• Education that supports both skill growth and personal well-being
If you’ve ever left a grooming expo feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected—Groomcation was created for you.
2026 Groomcation Educators & Presenters
Groomcation brings together a carefully curated group of respected educators, industry leaders, and presenters—chosen not just for their credentials, but for how they teach, connect, and share.
This is not a stage-based lineup or a series of rushed lectures.
Education at Groomcation is personal, accessible, and intentionally human.
Presenters are part of the experience.
They’re present throughout the retreat—available for conversation, discussion, and real connection beyond scheduled sessions.
Expect thoughtful demonstrations, open dialogue, shared meals, and the kind of learning that happens when walls come down and time is allowed to unfold naturally.
This is education with depth, context, and space to breathe.
Events & Amenities
Groomcation is designed as a fully immersive experience—where education is just one part of the story.
Throughout the retreat, guests will enjoy a thoughtful mix of structured events and unstructured moments. From guided experiences to spontaneous conversations, everything is intentionally paced to support connection, inspiration, and rest.
Between events, the estate becomes a place to unwind—whether that means lounging by the pool, gathering under the stars, or simply enjoying quiet moments away from the noise of everyday life.
• Pool Party Night
• Movie Night
• Bonfire Hangout Night
• Bring your dog too!
• Bar and Snacks
• Meals if you opt in

Every element of Groomcation is curated to feel elevated yet effortless.
Nothing is forced. Nothing is rushed. This is your Groomcation.
The experience unfolds naturally—day to night. Specific events, experiences, and amenities may vary and will be shared prior to the retreat.
