Join your peers for a day of deep work, honest peer conversation, and hands-on product time—set among the vineyards of California's most celebrated wine regions.

One day, designed for output.

The ACX Retreat brings together a select group of Ada's top customers for a full day of structured workshops, peer sessions, and hands-on product work. The agenda focuses on three areas: the quality of every resolution, the business impact your agent drives and the loop that keeps it improving. Every session is designed to end with something actionable in your hands.

You'll compare notes with peers running deployments like yours, work directly with Ada's product experts, and get a clear picture of where your ACX Practice stands and what it takes to push it further.

Who should attend? The day is built for AI managers and the technical folks who work in the Ada platform every day. If a business stakeholder owns your agent's performance, it's worth sending them alongside someone technical: they'll each walk away with complementary perspectives.

The venue

Estate Yountville

6481 Washington Street, Yountville, CA 94599

Tucked into the heart of Yountville — Napa Valley's culinary epicenter — Estate Yountville is a 22-acre resort set among manicured gardens and vine-draped grounds. Guest cottages and suites are spread across a quiet, village-like property, each designed to feel more like a private retreat than a hotel room. The resort's restaurant and bar lean into wine country without overdoing it; seasonal ingredients, local pours, and a pace that matches the surroundings.

Estate Yountville isn't a conference hotel. It's a place that makes good thinking feel easy, and earns the trip.
