Conferences

2023-24 Conferences and Speaker Events

The conferences at VMI are hosted and organized by the VMI Center for Leadership and Ethics' team of conference professionals, faculty, and staff. These events provide forums for discussions on issues of national, regional, and state importance, such as cybersecurity and the environment. Some conferences also provide co-curricular leader development and ethical training opportunities for VMI cadets.  Most of the conferences are open to the public and create strategic outreach between the Institute and leaders in academia, business, non-profits, government, military, and think tanks.

For all in-person events, VMI follows all guidelines from the Commonwealth of Virginia governor's office and the CDC. Visit VMI's homepage for relevant information about on-post events and visitation, refer to the VMI calendar, or follow us on your favorite social media platform for the latest updates on conference events.
