That’s a Wrap on ELEVATE 2026
April 9 – 11, 2026 · Horizon Convention Center · Muncie, Indiana
Elevate 2026 was a convention to remember. Three days packed with sessions, hands-on training, a packed trade show floor, and evenings with fireworks over Muncie.
Every attendee, sponsor, speaker, exhibitor, instructor, and volunteer made ELEVATE 2026 what it was. From all of us at COBRA Firing Systems, thank you for showing up, for sharing what you know, and for being part of the community that keeps this industry moving forward.
