SUMMARY:Western Conservative Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2026 Western Conservative Summit! \nThe Western Conservative Summit is one of the largest gatherings of conservatives outside of Washington\, D.C. We aim to educate Americans on the key issues facing the West and our nation\, equipping individuals to stand for faith\, family\, and freedom and training up the next generation of conservatives. \nAfter a two-year hiatus\, this milestone Summit will consider A New Birth of Freedom: Reigniting the American Dream. As we mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and look toward the next 250 years of American exceptionalism\, it is imperative that we take a moment to reflect\, recommit\, and rearticulate the intellectual foundations of American conservatism\, rooted in the self-evident truths of the Declaration: that our rights come from God\, not government; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness; and that government exists to secure these rights\, not to grant or redefine them. \nEvents begin Thursday\, July 30\, with the annual Armstrong Award Dinner\, followed by two full days of incredible conservative speakers\, workshops\, and networking opportunities. This is one event you will not want to miss. \nFor the latest event information\, including confirmed speakers\, schedule\, sponsorship opportunities\, and more\, please visit WesternConservativeSummit.com \nLearn More
