Every year, thousands of VFW and Auxiliary delegates gather to represent the organization’s more than 1.3 million combined membership at the week-long national convention. While there, our mission is to approve new national priorities that will guide our organization into the future as we focus on caring for veterans and as we lobby Congress on issues important to the nation’s veterans, service members and their families.
Throughout the week, delegates and attendees hear from prominent individuals and organizations in the veteran-serving community and we also take the time to recognize and celebrate many of them for their support of veterans and military personnel. The convention culminates with the election of the organization's new national-level chair officers, to include a new VFW national commander.
The 127th VFW National Convention will be held July 25-29, 2026, at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nevada.
