Conference Agenda

We’ll start this year’s Conference on Veteran’s Day, where no other city in the nation better understands the role our brave Veterans have played throughout history, and continue to serve today and tomorrow.

A tentative agenda is below. Here are a few highlights:

During Wednesday night's dinner, we will enjoy the beautiful sounds of multiple Grammy® Award winning singer Gladys Knight.

We are also honored to host General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) as our guest speaker during Thursday’s General Session.

During Friday's General Session, hear from David Gregory, Moderator of NBC's Meet the Press.

Throughout Conference we will talk strategy and planning during general sessions and workshops with many networking opportunities.
