For over a century, Esperanto speakers across the United States have gathered annually for the Landaj Kongresoj (National Conventions), as well as for smaller, local events. These conventions provide a unique space to connect, collaborate, and celebrate our shared love for Esperanto and its ideals.
Landa Kongreso 2026
Every year Esperanto-USA organizes a national congress during the summer. This year, it will take place in Cleveland, Ohio and will have a special focus on the life of Lidia Zamenhof, who instructed Esperanto there. It will also be a historical congress as we celebrate 250 years of US independence.
Printempa Esperanto Renkontiĝo (PER)
The annual regional Spring Esperanto Gathering (PER) presents a rare opportunity for Esperantists to spend three days immersed in an all-Esperanto world. In a beautiful mountain setting in North Carolina, far from the cares and annoyances of everyday life, a friendly, welcoming, and collaborative environment awaits. A practical, informative, and thought-provoking program with a variety of activities will provide opportunities to sharpen and strengthen speaking, listening, and conversational skills. Games, hikes, community meals are part of the enjoyment. The event typically occurs in mid-April.
Aŭtuna Renkontiĝo de Esperanto (ARE)
ARE will be held in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania – October 9-12 – at the Hidden Valley Camping Resort.
The program will be designed by the participants. Darts, golf, and other activities will be available on site, as well as bowling and axe throwing in the nearby town. More details can be found on the Eventa Servo page.
