Criteria in place for hosting convention

Each year The American Legion national convention takes place in a different city. And those cities undergo a detailed process in order to secure their selection as a host city.

Convention cities are selected through a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, the availability and price of hotel rooms, meeting space, city services, and the needs of the national organization and departments. Bids are accepted from cities wishing to host the convention.
