Constellation's Connected Enterprise 2026
Time for an energizing game of golf on one of the most scenic courses in the world. Whether you are a hacker or a duffer, we're out there for some fun, great conversation, and a chance to meet the fellow mutants ahead of the conference.
We'll take care of the clubs, some balls, beverages throughout and a lunch box for the course.
The foursomes will be pre-paired for an enjoyable experience on the links.
Hosts
Catch the majestic bluffs and pastel color palette sunset, while wandering the property and soaking in the fresh sea air. Look out for the bagpipers and head to the beach for a dramatic view.
Come meet and greet with the speakers and VIPs of Connected Enterprise at Mullins Bar and Grill. We'll be next to the resort’s Golf Club for delicious bites and engaging conversation. Once known as Caddy's, the restaurant was renamed Mullins Bar and Grill in 2006 in honor of the "granddaddy of local golf" and the head golf pro for 30+ years Clyde "Moon" Mullins. With over 1/3 of attendees having joined us at least 3 or more times, we have to call this the "Reunion Dinner"
You can pick up your conference badge as you arrive at Mullins.
