THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!
2026 WORLDWIDE GATHERING OF BRATS
October 29–November 1 • DFW Airport Marriott • Irving, Texas
The Gathering is getting closer, and we’re getting ready to welcome Brats from around the world! Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends, meeting Brats for the first time, or coming on your own, you belong here.
Some of us haven’t seen each other in decades. Others are meeting for the first time after discovering similar memories of life overseas.
We’re looking forward to Brat connections, stories, laughter and memories throughout the weekend—from the Spurs & Pearls Kickoff Evening and Hospitality Suite to Saturday’s sessions, the Masquerade Evening, and our special ceremonial finale.
Four days. Countless stories. One unforgettable Gathering.
