The Independent Order of Vikings holds a bi-annual Grand Lodge Meeting and Convention to tend to the business of the Order.  Each subordinate Lodge elects voting delegates based on their current, active dues-paying membership.  Delegates partner with the Executive Council members to discuss current issues; consider amendments to the IOV Constitution; and elect new Executive Council Members.  The bi-annual Convention is hosted by a subordinate lodge, usually that of the Vice Grand Chief.

The next IOV Convention will be held in October 2026, hosted by Vice Grand Chief Tom Jandt at Linne’ Lodge #57 in Muskegon, MI.
