YearlyKos is a political convention for American liberal political activists, organized by readers and writers of the U.S. based Internet blog, Daily Kos.

The first YearlyKos was held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from June 8 to June 11, 2006. It featured prominent Democrats such as Harry Reid, Howard Dean, and Nancy Pelosi, as well as four possible contenders in the 2008 Democratic primary: former Virginia governor Mark Warner, Indiana senator Evan Bayh, New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, and retired General Wesley Clark.

The convention also consisted of panels, roundtable discussion groups, and other gatherings of activists, members of the media, and elected officials. It was held the Riviera Hotel.
