Are there books/videos/products for sale at the Summit?

Our bookstore in the Expo Hall will offer a number of book options throughout the Summit, particularly books authored by our speakers. When possible, speakers will be scheduled for book signings in the Expo Hall throughout the event.

Exhibitors will also bring a variety of interesting, informative or just-for-fun offerings including attire, jewelry, accessories and stickers. Speakers’ books, CD’s and DVD’s will be available.

How will I know who is speaking when? Who are your confirmed speakers?

The schedule will be published closer to the event. With that said, expect that our schedule could change at the discretion of the planning team. We maintain a somewhat flexible agenda in order to accommodate last minute availability of high profile speakers. Although unconventional (and a bit nerve wracking), the benefits of our flexibility more than outweigh the mild uncertainty as we discover what wonderful surprises develop.

Are there workshops or small group discussions?

Yes, we offer a variety of workshops during both the mornings and afternoons of the Summit. These workshops allow for more interaction and discussion with each other and with the presenters. Networking during the event is highly encouraged!

Can children attend the Summit?

We do NOT suggest bringing young children, as our sessions are too long for their attention span and create a distraction by their presence.

Teens, however, will find the program engaging and we welcome them to register at the highly discounted Patriot Pass rate. Every teen is required to attend with a parent or guardian, over the age of 18, whom is also a pass holder. All minors should be accompanied by the parent or guardian throughout the entirety of the event.

What opportunities are available for teens and young adults?

Young people age 16 – 20 should consider registering for the Western Conservative Summit Youth Conference, which includes two days of patriot-filled education for young Christian conservative leaders, paired with two days of attendance at the Western Conservative Summit.

For students and young adults under the age of 30, the Under 30 Speech Contest provides 10 minutes of fame for the contest winner. Videos are submitted in advance for viewers to vote on their favorite message, based on this year’s theme.

All attendees, regardless of age, are REQUIRED to purchase a pass to attend the Summit. This is a security measure and must be followed.
