5 Reasons to Attend Unfold26 (Formerly AlliantCon)

Written by Admin | Jul 24, 2026 7:16:13 PM

The customer conference you know is back with a new name

If you've been wondering what happened to AlliantCon, you're not alone.

For more than 30 years, AlliantCon has been the place where customers came together to learn, collaborate, and build lasting relationships. That tradition hasn't ended—it has evolved.

Welcome to Unfold26.

While the name has changed, the experience you know and value is still at the heart of the event. In fact, it's even better. As part of the TEXO family, Unfold26 brings together both Alliant and LinenMaster customers, creating new opportunities to learn, connect, and help shape the future of our solutions.

If you've been waiting to register because you weren't sure what Unfold26 was, here are five reasons why you won't want to miss it.

1. Everything You Loved About AlliantCon Is Still Here

Unfold26 is the next chapter of AlliantCon—TEXO’s unified customer conference for Alliant and LinenMaster customers.

You'll still experience the same customer-focused education, software training, product updates, and collaborative discussions that have made this event a must-attend for decades.

Whether you're a first-time attendee or have been attending AlliantCon for years, you'll find the same commitment to helping you get the most out of your TEXO solutions.

2. Learn Practical Strategies You Can Use Right Away

Every session is designed with one goal in mind: helping you improve your business.

From software best practices and operational efficiencies to emerging technology and AI, you'll leave with actionable ideas you can implement as soon as you're back at work.

Our keynote speaker, Josh Drean, will present "The Era of Human +", sharing practical frameworks and real-world examples that help organizations embrace technology with confidence—not complexity.

3. Connect Directly with the People Behind Your Software

One of the biggest reasons customers return year after year is the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with the teams who build and support the solutions they use every day.

At Unfold26, you'll have direct access to product experts, support teams, and company leaders who want to hear your ideas, answer your questions, and learn from your experience.

Your feedback doesn't just get heard—it helps shape what's next.

4. Expand Your Network Across the TEXO Community

This year marks an exciting new chapter.

For the first time, Alliant and LinenMaster customers will come together at one event.

That means more opportunities to exchange ideas, discover different approaches, and build relationships with professionals across the commercial laundry industry.

No matter your role—owner, executive, manager, operator, administrator, or system user—you'll meet people facing many of the same challenges and opportunities as you.

5. Invest in Yourself, Your Team, and Your Business

The value of Unfold26 doesn't end when the conference does.

The conversations you have, the ideas you discover, and the connections you build continue to create value long after you return home.

Attendees consistently leave with:

  • Practical solutions they can immediately put into practice
  • New ways to maximize their TEXO software
  • Industry insights and best practices
  • Stronger professional relationships
  • Fresh ideas that drive continuous improvement

That's why so many customers return year after year.
