NatCon Sponsor & Exhibitor Options
Every year our annual SVA NatCon brings together student veterans from across the country, inspiring speakers, leading employers, higher education professionals, nonprofits, government agencies, and more!
The Student Veterans of America® National Conference (“NatCon” as we like to call it) is the largest gathering of student veterans anywhere in the world. With SVA chapters at over 1,600 campuses across the U.S. and in several countries abroad, NatCon serves as a focal point in the academic year to share ideas, best practices, and network with veteran and military-affiliated students, their families, supporters, and allies, as well as corporate, government, and nonprofit partners, and more!
NatCon Highlights
Celebrate 18 years of Student Veterans of America! NatCon brings together thousands of students, partners, allies, supporters, and thought leaders each year to represent the interests of nearly 600,000 members throughout the country.
Over 75% of student veterans are attending four-year public and private institutions and their cumulative average GPA is 3.42 on a 4.0 scale. The majority of student veterans are first generation college students. Women veterans are the fastest growing group of student veterans, making up nearly half of the SVA Chapter Leaders.

We Love NatCon
“What’s so great about hiring veterans is that they’re resilient, versatile, and able to adapt in almost any situation. Things that might be challenging for people who’ve never been in the military, are things that we [veterans] handle with ease. It’s a breath of fresh air for our colleagues and peers that have never experienced working with someone from the service.”
“Since 2015, we’ve been able to build a partnership with Student Veterans of America across the United States by supporting different campus events for student veterans that focus on STEM, transition into the workforce, and supporting student veterans as they transition to campus.”
“We love to tell everyone about Student Veterans of America and get some amazing talent with the folks here at SVA and make sure we are providing them with as many opportunities as we can. We appreciate the opportunity to come out and we look forward to being there with SVA in a long lasting partnership.”
