Meeting of the Minds Update

PARROT HEADS… THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

We are officially less than TWO WEEKS AWAY from registration closing for Meeting of the Minds 2026!

😳 ARE YOU REGISTERED YET?!

Because pretty soon there are going to be two kinds of Parrot Heads:

The ones in Gulf Shores listening to incredible music, dancing with their phriends, enjoying a cold beverage, and wondering where they left their flip-flops…

😢 And the ones sitting at home saying,

“I really should have registered.”

DON’T BE PARROT HEAD #2. 😂

Six days of music, phriends, sunshine, beach, dancing, questionable decisions involving tropical beverages, and a whole lot of PARTYING WITH A PURPOSE!

October 20–25, 2026

Gulf Shores, Alabama

⏰ REGISTRATION CLOSES IN TWO WEEKS!

👉 www.motm.rocks/registration

Get off your perch and GET REGISTERED! 🦜

Your flip-flops will forgive you.

Your liver has been warned. 🍹😂

FINS UP, PHRIENDS! See y’all in Gulf Shores!



ENTERTAINMENT UPDATE

THE MOTM 2026 LINEUP IS ABSOLUTELY STACKED!

👀Seriously… have you SEEN this lineup?! 👀

We’ve got new faces, returning favorites, Trop Rock legends, Coral Reefers, and some seriously incredible talent headed to Gulf Shores for Meeting of the Minds 2026!

Every time we announce another artist, the Coconut Telegraph starts buzzing all over again.

·    Parrots are squawking. 🦜

·    Flip-flops are tapping. 🩴

·    Fins are going UP. 🦈

And somewhere, for reasons we cannot explain, a margarita is already being poured.

At this point, the biggest problem might be figuring out WHEN WE'RE SUPPOSED TO SLEEP! 😳

Six days. Gulf Shores. More music than your dancing feet are prepared for.

How We Party With A Purpose at MOTM:

At Meeting of the Minds, “Party with a Purpose” comes alive through the charity events woven into the week. Parrot Heads may come to Gulf Shores for the music, the beach, the friendships, and the party, but along the way, we turn all that fun into something that matters.

Our charity events give everyone a chance to participate. Whether it’s buying a raffle ticket, bidding on an auction item, joining a fundraiser, making a donation, or supporting one of the special events held throughout MOTM, those individual contributions add up to a tremendous impact.

And one of the most meaningful moments comes when we get to present the charity checks and see what all that partying actually accomplished. Behind every dollar raised are real people, real organizations, and real communities being helped.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS

Breakout Sessions Are Back at Meeting of the Minds 2026!

Calling all Parrot Head Club leaders! While you’re at Meeting of the Minds, take some time to connect, learn, and bring a few new ideas back home to your club.

Our Breakout Sessions are designed to give leaders an opportunity to sit down together and talk about the things that help keep our clubs strong and growing. Sessions will cover topics including Leadership, Membership Drives, Charity & Community Service, and Communications.

But these sessions are about more than just listening—they’re about sharing ideas and experiences with fellow leaders from across Parrot Head Nation. Talk about what’s working in your club, learn what others are doing, brainstorm new initiatives, and maybe even find opportunities for clubs to collaborate on future events, charitable efforts, or common goals.

Whether you’re a longtime club leader or just stepping into a leadership role, there’s always something new to learn—and sometimes the best ideas come from simply sitting around a table with other Parrot Heads who understand the challenges and rewards of keeping a club moving forward.

Come with questions. Come with ideas. Come ready to share.

Then head home with new connections, fresh inspiration, and a few more tools in your toolbox to help make your club even stronger.

After all, Meeting of the Minds isn’t just about the music and the party—it’s also about building stronger clubs, stronger leaders, and a stronger Parrot Head community.

Learn. Share. Connect. Grow.

We’ll see you at the Breakout Sessions at Meeting of the Minds 2026, The Tiki Bar is Open!
