Military History Conferences

Annual military history conferences are sponsored by the council.  They take place at different sites around the country and are usually planned for a Wednesday through Saturday in May or June.  These three-day events include the presentation of upward to 30 papers on military history subjects, meals with speakers and chartered bus field trips to sometimes unusual and inaccessible historic sites and military installations. A Sunday add-on day is usually planned to a location further from the conference site.

While members register on Wednesday afternoon, the Executive Committee and Board of Directors meet to conduct the organization's business.  An evening welcome session and reception gives everyone an opportunity to get acquainted with new members and renew old friendships.

Thursday is dedicated to paper presentations in the hotel's conference rooms.  Twenty-minute presentations are carried out in at least two concurring sessions so there are a variety of lectures available to meet the interest of all members. Thursday’s lunch is co-sponsored by the Society of Military History.

On Friday and Saturday everyone boards air conditioned buses for the first site visit and lunch.  After an afternoon of touring military installations the buses return to the hotel about 5:00 pm so that everyone can get ready for the evening event.

On Thursday or Friday, the Yount-Windsor book auction is held.  A formal dinner with speaker is the highlight of Saturday evening that concludes the regular part of the conference.

We always include a separate add-on trip for members who wish to spend more time learning about the area's military history.  These trips usually visit sites that are too far from the hotel to include in the regular conference and a smaller group size normally allows more time to study the sites in detail.
