Congresses
Each year Esperanto-USA holds an annual convention, known as a Landa Kongreso, hosted in a different region of the country – and sometimes in neighboring countries, with the help of their respective national Esperanto organizations.
In 2023, we will be holding our 71st annual convention in North Carolina. See the 2023 Congress website for details.
