The 2026 Pirate National Conference will be hosted in Boston, MA!
Weeks of voting has come to a conclusion, and it is official: Boston, MA will be the host city for the 2026 Pirate National Conference, taking place on June 6th, 2026.
A single round knockout elimination tournament featuring twelve cities has concluded with Boston defeating fellow finalist city Vicksburg, MS.
The following cities, in addition to Vicksburg, shall remain in permanent consideration for a future conference host city:
- Albuquerque, NM
- Chicago, IL
- Las Vegas, NV
- Louisville, KY
- Mobile, AL
- New Orleans, LA
- Plattsburgh, NY
- Portland, OR
- Providence, RI
- San Francisco, CA*
- Seattle, WA
We promised a conference on a boat, and by hell or high water, we will get ourselves a conference on a boat.
Boston being selected as host city not only provides us with an instantly recognizable location, but one so deeply entrenched in U.S. history and struggles against tyranny.
As well, this allows us to honor the Massachusetts Pirate Party properly. The MAPP features some of the hardest working and most dedicated Pirates in the country, so having our conference, one which will mark twenty years of the United States Pirate Party, in their home state is fitting.
There wouldn’t be a twenty years old Pirate Party in existence today without the work of the Massachusetts Pirate Party. For that, I could not think of a more perfect setting.
We look forward to providing you with more details about our conference as the weeks go on. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you in Boston (or online, since it’s a in-person-online hybrid conference).
Boston, Victory is Arrrs.
