Building Better Benefits in the 21st Century
In recent years, the VA has made leaps and bounds in its benefits delivery modernization journey. With massive upgrades made to programs across the education and claims adjudication arms, the VA has made critical steps to better achieving its 21st Century mission goals. Looking forward the VBA is prepared to double down on these efforts by ensuring that every Veteran has access to disability payments, education benefits, transitional support, vocational training and housing.
With new developments in enterprise technology systems, artificial intelligence, claims management software and multi-channel communication solutions, the VA is primed to tackle to key issues in delivering our Nation's Veterans their rightfully earned benefits. We are honored to bring an exciting new addition to our
Veterans Affairs portfolio: the

This exciting inaugural event will bring together a carefully curated speaker faculty of VBA component directors and director level speakers from organizations across the VBA and VA continuum. We invite you to join in the conversation with our esteemed speakers and subject matter experts as to how to better deliver services to Veterans across the United States.
