The 2013 NCHV Annual Conference will be held held May 29-31, 2013 at the Grand Hyatt Washington, 1000 H Street NW, Washington, D.C. The theme for the 2013 conference is "Service Providers: Great Innovations." The NCHV Annual Conference provides the nation’s most comprehensive source of training on homeless veteran services, programs, best practices, and resources for service providers and their partners. This year, the Annual Conference will focus on the innovative, research-based practices from the service provider community that have had significant impacts on efforts to end homelessness among veterans by 2015. 

The Conference will provide training opportunities and forums for engagement with partners from several Federal agencies, leaders in business and philanthropy, and experts from the service provider community. This year's Conference will feature an expanded selection of sessions over three days. Conference attendees will be able to choose from over 30 groundbreaking sessions from across five unique tracks:

• Housing Services and Philanthropy
• Federal Partners (leadership sessions)
