Welcome to the 2026 Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference (VMHC)
Welcome! We're delighted you've chosen to join the 2026 Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference, a one-of-a-kind professional development experience that brings volunteer engagement professionals together through local host sites across Canada, the United States, and around the world.
VMHC combines the best of both worlds—world-class speakers and a shared international conference experience, paired with the opportunity to connect, network, and learn alongside colleagues in your own community.
This year's conference theme, Embracing the Future of Volunteer Engagement: Building for Resilience and Sustainability, will explore the ideas, strategies, and innovations shaping the future of our profession.
Thank you for being part of this growing global community. We hope you leave inspired, equipped with practical ideas, and connected to peers who share your passion for engaging volunteers.
