The MPO holds its Annual Convention every Labor Day Weekend and has done so since 1922. Held throughout cities in the United States and Canada at premier hotels and convention venues, the MPO Convention has grown from a simple annual business meeting to a celebration of Macedonian-Bulgarian heritage, customs and traditions in the USA and Canada.
The MPO Convention features large dances with traditional Macedonian-Bulgarian music, workshops on Macedonian-Bulgarian dance, cuisine and wine, networking events for Macedonian-Bulgarian business people and professionals, golf outings, river and lake cruises, late night songfests, youth dances and outings, and displays of historical photos of MPO conventions dating back to the earliest days of the Convention. The MPO also confers its Chapter of the Year award and the Damian Grueff Award, awarded annually to the MPO’s Member of the Year, at the Annual Convention.
The Annual Convention also provides a forum for the MPO to honor Macedonian-Bulgarians of distinction and to hear from prominent Bulgarian speakers on issues relevant to Macedono-Bulgarians in North America. Bulgarian speakers often speak of their heritage and how it has impacted their lives and contributed to their success while non-Bulgarian speakers often provide valuable guidance and insight on Macedonian-Bulgarian issues.
