The Deep Southern Equipment Dealers Association proudly welcomed 200 Dealer Member attendees, their families and Industry Partners from across North America to the beautiful Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa for the 2026 DSEDA Summer Conference, held July 12–14. By every measure, this year's conference was one of the most successful in association history, bringing together equipment dealers and industry leaders for three unforgettable days of education, fellowship, networking and celebration.
The conference officially kicked off Sunday evening with DSEDA's beloved Annual Welcome Shrimp Boil & Pig Roast, where attendees enjoyed outstanding food, live entertainment and reconnecting with friends from across the Deep South. An incredible 145 pounds of fresh Gulf shrimp were boiled while a 150-pound smoked pig was slow-smoked to perfection, creating the perfect atmosphere to launch another memorable conference.
Monday morning saw dealers take to the fairways for the Annual DSEDA Golf Tournament at The Links Golf Course at Sandestin. Despite the refreshing Florida Summer rain, the tournament proved to be another outstanding success, filled with friendly competition, laughter and valuable networking opportunities among dealers and industry partners.
