Shriners International and SIEF are pleased to share with you information related to the 152nd Imperial Session to be held in Tampa, Florida, July 12-16, 2026.
The host temple Potentate and/or Recorder is your primary contact for activities and information related to Imperial Session. They are responsible for supplying a written finalized schedule of activities and engagement opportunities. Please contact them directly for any questions you may have.
We would like to provide an additional option to register for the SIEF: Grand Master Summit if you would like to elect to self-sponsor — which includes all associated expenses, i.e., travel and hotel accommodations.
The Grand Master Summit offers a platform for Grand Masters to discuss issues of common interest. Facilitated by a Past Grand Master, the discussion is driven by attending Grand Masters.
Step into a realm of profound leadership evolution at the Grand Masters Summit – an annual gathering by invitation-only – that has been shaping destinies since 2016. Join the visionary minds behind state Grand Lodges from across the United States and around the globe, converging for a transformative experience like no other.
An automated registration system supports confirming your attendance for events and activities hosted by the Office of Membership Development and SIEF.

All Grand Master spouses are invited to attend the “Grand Master Spouse Meet-Up,” which received overwhelmingly positive feedback last year and promises an even better program this year.
This event is not just creating a gathering – we are crafting an experience. Let the conversations flow naturally, let the connections be authentic, and let the insights gained be transformative. This is your space, your moment, and your opportunity to be part of a community that understands, appreciates, and celebrates the unique journey of being a spouse.
