Veterans Convention Coming To the East Bay

Contra Costa County officials are bringing a convention of veteran’s services to Concord later this month, county officials announced Sunday.

The convention, called VetCon, will start at 9 a.m. on Aug. 17 at the Concord Hilton, county officials said.

Veterans and their families will have the opportunity to get support from a variety of organizations that help them, according to a website for VetCon. The conference will also provide veterans the opportunity to gather and network with employers, educational institutions, and other veterans, according to VetCon.

Veterans will be able to participate in a town hall meeting and see a live broadcast of Veterans’ Voices, an online and Cable TV show, county officials said.
