  • Scores of vendors provide access to parts and information
  • Technical seminars and discussions groups
  • New friends are brought together by a shared interest
  • Activities, tours, and event for all family members
WHEN: 5-7 June 2025

The 2025 Convention will return to the Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, on 5-7 June. The KILROY Chapter will be the host, once again.
