The Annual Convention of The Augustan Society, Inc., will be held on or after 18 August of each calendar year. Normally, this is centered around the Saturday on or next following the 18th, but there is no reason why it could not be delayed further, perhaps much further, for cause.
 
==Location==
 
The location of the Annual Convention is presently rotated about the United States based on the availability of volunteer hosts. The intent is not to repeat in the same region on consecutive years, and to eventually see all regions represented in proportion to the membership.
 
Consuls have offered to host the Annual Convention in Orlando when for various reasons a Host or location become unavailable during the year of the convention. Should this not happen for an extended period, it may be prudent to hold a convention in Orlando that new Directors might tour the storage facilities and thus obtain a better understanding of the magnitude of the challenge.
 
Once a [[Headquarters]] has been opened, it is recommended that the Annual Convention be held in that location every other year, with the pattern of varying locations observed in the off-years.
 
==Activities==
The Annual Convention normally spans from Thursday to Sunday. Normal events are:
*Saturday:
:The recessed [[Annual Membership Meeting]], including (regardless of a quorum being had:
::The announcment announcement of the results of the [[Elections]];
::Consuls' annual [[State of the Society]] address.
:A meeting of the [[Board|Board of Directors]]. At this meeting the new [[Directors]] will be installed, outgoing Directors excused, and such other business as may come before the Board.
*Sunday:
:Social activities, generally focusing on the host city.
