This year's theme, $\color{e0727b}\textbf{mosaic}$, captures both the individuality and unity that make our Alumni Community powerful.

We’re focusing on each other – so we’ve added some new experiences to make the weekend even more about this Community. We know you’ll be walking away with new meaningful memories and connections.

Whether you’ve attended in the past or it’s your first time, this Alumni Summit offers a unique way to invest in your professional growth, while feeling like you’re in one of the best weekends of the summer.

➡️ The Schedule

In 2025, we’re focusing on the beauty of our Alumni Community — and that is in our shared connections. Despite our varied experiences, there is a common thread between us in terms of what initially brought us to VFC. The 2025 Summit theme reflects this idea as a $\color{e0727b}{mosaic}$ -- where each piece, and each of us, is necessary to create the greater whole.
