MORE THAN
A WEEKEND.
MCON was created by veterans to bring the military community together for an epic celebration.
We value service, purpose, and sacrifice. Our mission is to create community, facilitate connection, and improve the well-being of those who served and their families.
Here, military culture is something to celebrate together. Conversations happen on stage and between friends. New experiences sit alongside familiar faces. Every part of MCON begins with two words.
WELCOME HOME.
