El Paso County Veterans Expo

The 2026 El Paso County Veterans Expo is a free, full-day event designed to connect Veterans and their families with resources, opportunities, and information to help them thrive. Expo will bring together Veteran service organizations, community partners, and agencies dedicated to supporting those who served. The 2026 Veterans Expo comes at a meaningful time for the community. As the nation prepares to commemorate 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Colorado approaches its 150th anniversary of statehood, the Expo reflects a shared commitment to honoring service while investing in the future of the local Veteran community. It also responds to a growing need for collaboration among service providers and clearer pathways for Veterans navigating complex systems. The event will feature a vendor fair in the upper and lower lobbies, offering one-on-one access to Veteran resources. Additionally, a dedicated "Ask a Veterans Service Officer" area will be available, where attendees can meet accredited professionals for direct assistance with VA claims and benefits. Open conference-style information sessions will feature keynote speakers and panel discussions addressing regional Veteran issues, benefits, and community collaboration. Throughout the day, vendors and partner organizations will have direct engagement with attendees, strengthening relationships and awareness. The Expo will serve as a hub of connection, education, and empowerment. Veterans and their families will gain access to trusted information, claim assistance, and new opportunities, all in one place. This event will create a measurable impact, reducing barriers to access, improving awareness of services, and reinforcing El Paso County's leadership in serving Veterans. Attendance is free and open to all, and we encourage Veterans and families to RSVP in advance. An early RSVP helps us prepare for a strong turnout and allows us to share important updates, parking details, and event logistics so attendees can make the most of their day.
