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.
