VFW Washington Conference, 2025
2025-03-02 00:00 - 2025-03-06 23:59 | CT
The 2025 VFW Washington Conference will be held March 2-6, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
For nearly 75 years, the VFW’s annual Washington Conference has provided an opportunity for VFW leaders from each state to personally lobby their respective lawmakers and watch as the VFW’s current Commander-in-Chief testifies on Capitol Hill before the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees on behalf of veterans.
Guest speakers are invited to address conference delegates, and since 1964, the VFW’s Congressional Award has been presented annually to one sitting member of the House or Senate for their significant legislative contributions on behalf of those who have worn the uniform.
Also at the event, the national winners of the 2024-2025 Voice of Democracy and Patriot’s Pen scholarship contests will be announced during the annual Parade of Winners ceremony, sponsored by Twisted X. During the ceremony both first place winners will read their winning essay before conference delegates after being presented with their winnings.
Housing reservations for the Washington Conference are now open. Don’t wait as the room block sells out quickly. Make your reservation today.

Save the date for the 2025 VFW Washington Conference, and stay in the conversation by using #VFWDC2025 on social media platforms.
