About the Summit
A Growing Annual Event Serving the Reserve Component Workforce
Each year, VetJobs and Military Spouse Jobs bring together leaders, employers, and advocates to address the evolving employment needs of the National Guard and Reserve community.
In 2026, the summit expands its impact with the addition of a third day dedicated to career readiness and hiring, offering direct pathways to employment for service members, veterans, spouses, and caregivers.
This event unites:
- Employers committed to hiring Guard & Reserve talent
- Government agencies and DoD partners
- Non‑profits and community organizations
- Military leaders, advocates, and policy influencers
Together, we’re building long‑term solutions that strengthen recruiting, retention, and career success across the Reserve Component.
