CPAC is the annual gathering of the conservative movement in the USA. It is attended by 8,000 activists from throughout the United States and, increasingly, from around the world. Half of those attending are students. This year it runs from 9-11th February in Washington DC.
The conference itself is a thorough exploration of contemporary political issues, while the exhibition numbering some 250 exhibitors that comprise the conservative movement is extraordinarily impressive.
During this election year, CPAC is particularly fascinating as speakers will include those seeking the presidential nomination. This year, speakers include:
- Mitt Romney
- Rick Santorum
- Newt Gingrich
- Sarah Palin
- Marco Rubio
- Jim Jordan
- Ann Coulter
- Mike Huckabee
- Jim DeMint
- Allen West
In addition to attending CPAC itself, members of the British delegation who spend the recommended week in Washington DC will also enjoy tours of the US Congress, US Supreme Court, Washington’s historic monuments, Washington National Cathedral, Arlington National Cemetery, the National Rifle Association, George Washington’s Mount Vernon home and an NHL ice-hockey match featuring the Washington Capitals.
