Registration is now open for Veterans For Peace's Online Convention!
Veterans For Peace will hold our convention online this year again August 12-15th!
This year's theme is Rising to the Moment.
We had an amazing experience last year and it was our highest attended convention yet! We know that many of us will miss being able to greet each other in person but we also know that each and every one of us wants to make sure all of our members are safe and healthy.
We are now taking Workshop proposals and finalizing our program! Be sure to register early for the early bird discount! We have created a Convention website that detail all things convention! Be sure to check it out!
We are so excited to be gathering "virtually" again and look forward to seeing new and old faces!
The 2021 Convention theme this year is “Rising to the Moment.” We are asking members to submit workshop applications based on themes listed here.
We will have the capacity to host nine workshops during this year’s convention and priority will be given to submitters who have a connection with or are organizing via Veterans For Peace already. Complete applications will also be prioritized and incomplete applications will be returned for further work.
The application deadline for workshops to be considered is June 14th, 2021. This deadline will be firmly adhered to as hosting workshops online requires a tremendous amount of preparation.
We are appealing to VFP chapters, businesses, or allied organizations to contribute to the 2021 VFP convention by placing an ad to be shown on-screen throughout the VFP Online Convention as well as in the printed commemorative booklet sent to people who register at the commemorative rate.
