Meals on Wheels Annual Conference & Expo 2026
The Meals on Wheels Annual Conference & Expo is the premier national gathering of the Meals on Wheels network, convened by Meals on Wheels America. The 2026 event takes place August 17-20 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. It brings together local program leaders, senior nutrition professionals, aging experts, funders and corporate partners from across the country to tackle the network's most pressing challenges. The conference is built for the people who run and support community-based senior nutrition programs. Meals on Wheels America is the leadership organization supporting more than 5,000 community-based programs nationwide, and this event equips those providers with practical strategies, real-world tools and shared solutions. Attendees come to gain actionable insights across service delivery, fundraising, advocacy, data-driven storytelling and volunteer engagement, while networking with peers and partners who share their mission. The 2026 theme centers on shifting from short-term fixes to long-term strength — securing sustainable resources, advocating with urgency, operating more efficiently and using data — to build the capacity and resilience needed to 'End the Wait' and ensure every senior who needs Meals on Wheels receives it.
