2026 Conference Cause: Military Immersion Presented by PLUS Foundation and Zero8Hundred

Join fellow 2026 PLUS Conference attendees and PLUS Foundation supporters as they take a short bus ride over to a naval base in San Diego to support local charity Zero8Hundred’s efforts.

• Tour an active U.S. Navy large deck naval ship (ship name to be announced this fall).
•  Join active-duty sailors as they conduct the tour and meet the ship’s Commanding Officer and team members as they share more about the ship’s deployment responsibilities.
• Groups will be split for a full tour of the ship, visiting areas such as where they sleep and work to provide the group with insight into what these sailors do each day in port and deployment.
• At the conclusion of the tour, we will participate in an immersive and collaborative experience with members of the military to build basic need and holiday support bags for sailors on board the ship as well as service members and veterans being served at Zero8Hundred. Bags will include basic need supplies and holiday appreciation items to thank these service members for all they do.  Basic need and holiday bags left over will go to Zero8Hundred’s registered clients over the following months.

PLEASE NOTE: The Naval Base San Diego requires disclosure of all attendees that are dual citizens or a foreign national. This information will be collected in the registration process.
