Sir Knights and families from around the world are invited to Southern California. Will you be there?

Sir Knight David J. Kussman, Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America, and Lady Kim Kussman personally invite you to celebrate the 70th Triennial Conclave in Los Angeles, California.

From August 10–18, 2027, Knights Templar from around the world will gather for an extraordinary celebration of Templary, fellowship, family, and fraternity. This Triennial will be more than the business of the Grand Encampment: the committee is planning activities for Sir Knights, ladies, and families, offering every generation memorable experiences in Southern California. The gathering will showcase what Templars value most: fellowship, camaraderie, brotherhood, and family.
