2026 PROGRESS
Save the date! The 2026 PROGRESS will be held May 5-7, 2026, in Louisville, Kentucky. You won't want to miss this opportunity to reconnect with fellow funeral professionals and suppliers from around the world to share ideas, ask questions, participate in meaningful discussions and network.
OGR's signature annual event brings together thought leaders and decision makers of independently owned and operated funeral homes and suppliers from across the globe. Focusing on industry dynamics, trending topics, innovation, and professional development, the knowledge and resources gained from this event directly benefit funeral homes looking to grow and be more successful. This is your chance to connect, learn and grow!
Registration for the conference will open in December. Additional details will be coming soon, so stay tuned to the OGR website and our social media channels to hear it first!
