MCON | Military Community Celebration 2026

Oct

MCON (the Military Community Celebration, also styled MCON.LIVE Military Conference) is an annual event created by veterans to bring the military community together for an epic celebration blending speakers, sports, music, and mission-driven programming. Organizers describe it as "a bit of Comic-Con, SHOT Show and military culture all wrapped up into a festival-like atmosphere," positioning it as the nation's premier annual celebration of military culture. MCON draws a broad audience of active-duty service members, veterans, military families, first responders, and the organizations that support them. Attendees can move between B2B programming such as the Military Impact Summit and MCON HEALTH, and B2C experiences including Range Day, live music, and sports competitions. The mission is to create community, facilitate connection, and improve the well-being of those who served and their families. Whether you come for professional development, networking with veteran-focused nonprofits and employers, or simply to reconnect with military culture, MCON offers a full weekend of programming in Las Vegas. Its combination of summits, exhibitions, athletic events, and entertainment makes it a distinctive gathering for anyone connected to the military community.
