The Veterans Outdoor Recreation Summit (VORS) is a premier gathering designed to unite leaders, practitioners, and advocates dedicated to advancing veteran well being through outdoor recreation. The summit creates a dynamic environment for learning, collaboration, and action; equipping attendees with the tools, insights, and partnerships needed to expand impact within the veteran community.
VORS brings together a diverse cross sector audience, including veteran serving nonprofit leaders, outdoor industry professionals, land managers, policymakers, researchers, healthcare providers, and community builders. This intentional mix fosters meaningful dialogue and shared problem solving around some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities at the intersection of veterans, health and wellness, and the outdoors.
The summit experience features a curated program of keynote speakers, break out sessions, exhibitor expo, and facilitated networking opportunities. Sessions are designed to inspire innovation, challenge conventional approaches, and empower organizations to become more sustainable, data-driven, and community-focused in their work.
Rooted in the belief that the outdoors can restore purpose, connection, and resilience, the Veterans Outdoor Recreation Summit serves as a catalyst for strengthening the ecosystem of organizations serving veterans; ensuring greater access, deeper impact, and long term success for those who have served.
