GoVets Is Heading to VETCON 2025 — See You in Albany!

We’re proud to announce that this week, GoVets will be attending Veterans in Economic Transition Conference — VETCON 2025 — in Albany, New York. The conference takes place December 2 – 3, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Desmond Hotel. 

What’s VETCON — and Why We’re Excited

VETCON is the premier national conference dedicated to the professional development and support of veterans, veteran-owned businesses, and veterans transitioning into civilian careers. It brings together entrepreneurs, industry leaders, state agencies, and veteran advocates — offering seminars, networking, business-development mentorship, and opportunities for contracting or growth. 

With sessions covering everything from “How to Start and Fund Your Veteran-Owned Small Business” to “Opportunities for SDVOBs to Do Business with NYS Agencies & Authorities,” VETCON offers a wealth of resources for veterans seeking to build careers or launch ventures. 

Moreover, the conference features a Business Plan Competition and the “Veterans in Business Awards,” giving veteran-owned enterprises a chance to showcase their ideas and earn recognition and support. 

What GoVets Will Do at VETCON

  • We’ll be attending — engaging with fellow veterans, veteran-owned businesses, and state agencies.

  • We aim to explore new partnerships and gather insights on veteran entrepreneurship, government contracting, and the broad opportunities available to veterans nationwide.

  • We’ll share what we learn with the GoVets community — new resources, connections, and potential services that could benefit veterans everywhere.

What You Should Know

If you’re at VETCON this year — or are thinking about attending — we’d love to connect. Please reach out to us while we’re there. If you’re a veteran or veteran-owned small business in our network, stay tuned: we’ll share highlights, takeaways, and actionable opportunities after the conference.

We believe strongly that when veterans come together — via education, collaboration, and shared support — we build a stronger, more empowered community.

See you in Albany!
