CPAC 2019 – February 27-March 2 – Washington, D.C.
CPAC is widely considered the largest conservative conference nationwide each year. The event is hosted by Matt Schlapp and the American Conservative Union at the National Harbor just outside Washington, D.C.. The conference annually boasts speakers including President Donald Trump, members of the President’s Cabinet, Charlie Kirk, Dennis Prager, and dozens more. The most prominent conservative organizations across America are all present in the exhibition hall for attendees to network and discover more. CPAC seeks to “combine ideas with action to leverage the strength of thousands of grass-roots activists to break through the resistance of Washington’s powerful elites.” Sounds like an amazing way to start 2019 to me!
