Whale Tales 2027

Now that Whale Tales 2025 has wrapped up, we want to thank everyone who joined us and shared their feedback. We learned a great deal about the kind of event and venue our members are looking for in the future.

As we begin planning for the next Whale Tales, we are looking for suggestions for a residential-style venue (not a hotel) that we could rent for a weekend.
