The Kennedy Society’s 2026 AGM is heading to Stone Mountain, Georgia. Members will not want to miss the exclusive attendance of Lord Archie Cassillis, the current Earl, who will be honored as a Distinguished Guest of the games.
The Kennedy Society 2026 AGM will be held outside Atlanta at Stone Mountain, GA, and the Society is excited to note that Lord Archie Cassillis, the current Earl, will not only be in attendance but also designated as a Distinguished Guest of the games!

2026 Banquet
The Kennedy Society has reserved banquet space at Dominick’s of Historic Norcross (near the hotel) 95 South Peachtree Street, Norcross GA 30071 (770)-449-1611 at 7pm. Early arrival can be accommodated at the bar. Cost is $50 per person.
As a Distinguished Guest, Lord Archie is required to attend two receptions at the host hotel: the Corporate Sponsor from 6-8pm, and the Patrons/Clan Conveners from 8-10pm.
While the Corporate Sponsor reception is a controlled affair ($750 plus), the Patrons/Convener reception is slightly less selective: you will need to purchase a Patrons pass for $120 single/ $175 double in order to attend the 8pm reception.
If you don’t want to partake of this option, the hotel has a restaurant, bar, and an exceptional deck where you can hang out with fellow Kennedys.
Gates for the games open at 8am, and the opening ceremonies at 12pm with the guest introductions and massed bands. Lord Archie will be participating in this as he will be on the reviewing stand.
Closing ceremonies will be at 5pm.
