First-Timers, This One’s for You

​

If you’ve never been to a Conclave — or you’re new to Healeys altogether — we’re hosting a First-Timers Meet Up just for you. It’s a relaxed, friendly chance to meet fellow enthusiasts, ask questions, and get oriented before the week really gets rolling. No pressure, no gatekeeping — just a great way to start your first national event feeling welcomed and connected. Check out the week's schedule HERE.

Conclave + Art on Wheels = One Great Drive

​​

The VSCDA Ariens Art on Wheels weekend takes place immediately after Conclave, and Road America is only a few hours from Galena. That makes it a perfect continuation of the fun — especially if you’re driving your race car to Road America anyway. Missed Art on Wheels during Conclave 2024? This is your chance. We’re organizing a group drive so the adventure doesn’t end on Thursday.  Here's information on the VSCDA Weekend.

Why Stop at Thursday?

​​

Traditionally, Conclave runs Sunday through Thursday. For the 50th anniversary, we see no reason to simply pack up and leave. While the banquet will still mark the official close of the week for many, we’re planning optional post-Conclave tours to local distilleries and wineries, along with group lunches around the area. If you’re sticking around, there’s more to enjoy--and Eagle Ridge is extending a limited number of rooms past the event at the group rate (so don't delay!)

More Than Just Healeys

​

Conclave has always welcomed other marques — you’ve probably spotted a TR4 or an XKE in the parking lot. In 2026, we’re leaning into that spirit. Tech sessions apply just as much to Triumphs and MGs, and we’re setting aside a dedicated area at the car show for other British marques. If you’ve ever been curious what Conclave is all about, we want you to know that you're welcome, and we hope you’ll come see for yourself.
