Color Bearer Conference 2027
New Orleans, LA | May 21-23, 2027
Color Bearer Conference 2027
Formerly known as the Donor Thank You Weekend, the Color Bearer Conference is an annual, by invitation-only event, open to all Color Bearer members. You may register for yourself and one other person (such as a spouse or guest). This is a benefit of your Color Bearer membership.
We have a fun, history-filled weekend in store for you in New Orleans. We'll explore one of the most famous battlefields of the War of 1812—Chalmette—while also exploring Civil War sites in the heart of the Big Easy. We'll be joined by top historians in the field.
