112^th National Convention

August 9–13, 2025

Columbus, OH

Every year, thousands of VFW Auxiliary and VFW Delegates gather to represent our combined membership of more than 1.5 million at National Convention.

Members will head to Ohio’s capital city – Columbus, Ohio – for the VFW Auxiliary’s 112th National Convention. This is also the town where the VFW was born 125 years ago.
In August we’ll meet in this metropolitan area founded in the early 19th century at the confluence of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers and named after Italian explorer Christoper Columbus.

Columbus is known for its museums (from science to veterans’ memorial to fine art), culinary scene, botanical gardens, unique neighborhoods, historical districts and more.

National Convention will be held August 9-13, 2025, at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
