2026 Spring Regional Conference
The 2026 Spring Regional Conference was led by VCU's Institute for Democratic Empowerment and Pluralism on Mar. 28 and Apr. 11.
Designed to build upon the Virginia Government Simulation (VGS), the Spring Regional Conference provides additional opportunities for civic engagement, learning and leadership development in convenient locations.
In the 2026 sessions, participants met General Assembly Legislators and drafted the Virginia Government Simulation's Constitution. This crucial piece of legislation will serve as the foundation for the 2026 Fall VGS Simulation, ensuring that participants' work directly influence next year's program.
