Sunbelt 2026 Wrap Up

To all 2026 Sunbelt attendees, we extend our sincere appreciation for your commitment to social network analysis and the INSNA community. We had a wonderful experience gathering with you in Daytona Beach, Florida, where more than 300 participants joined us both in-person and virtually.

To those who could not join us in Daytona Beach, we enjoyed meaningful personal conversation, engaging educational sessions, and high-quality professional networking. The location for Sunbelt was beautiful, offering stunning ocean views while giving participants the chance to relax by the shore.

It was a pleasure to reconnect with many familiar faces from past Sunbelt conferences while also welcoming numerous first-time attendees to the Sunbelt and INSNA community. We are grateful to everyone who contributed to making this year's conference such a memorable and enriching experience.

A heartfelt thank you to our 2026 Sunbelt Organizing Committee: Christopher McCarty, Russell Bernard, and John Skvoretz.
