About this Year's Conference
Volunteer engagement professionals are being asked to do more than ever. Expectations are rising, resources are stretched, and the need for clear strategy has never been greater. The 2026 VMHC is built for the professionals carrying that responsibility.
This year's theme: Embracing the Future of Volunteer Engagement: Building for Resilience and Sustainability, will explore practical approaches to leading with clarity, integrating technology without losing human connection, and building systems that hold steady even when the landscape shifts. Attendees will leave with stronger frameworks, actionable strategies, and renewed confidence in the path ahead.
Whether you've built a resilient volunteer program, navigated organizational change, found ways to demonstrate strategic value, or pioneered new approaches to engagement, we want to hear from you. Submit your session ideas and help us build dynamic, inspiration-packed sessions that move our profession forward.
