Western Conservative Summit 2024

What meals and food are included?

Summit attendees will find or bring their own meals during program breaks at lunch and dinner times. Multiple food and beverage concessions will be available for purchase during meal times in the Exhibit Hall. This will be a great opportunity to grab a bite and interact with our exhibitors.

During the registration process, Saturday Dinner tickets are available for purchase. This will include food stations and light entertainment. You must be a pass holder in order to purchase a Saturday Dinner ticket.

VIP Pass holders have some food and beverage provided, including access to the VIP Lounge (light snacks and beverages) and the VIP reception (Friday).

 What is the Dress Code?

In general, our Summit attendees choose Western or business casual attire. As with any event held in a ballroom, a light sweater or jacket is recommended for temperature fluctuations. Comfortable shoes are recommended for enjoying the exhibit area and for walking throughout the Colorado Convention Center.

There are 2 light rail (RTD) stops within a block of the Colorado Convention Center. For schedules and maps, visit RTD-Denver.com

Need airport transportation?

Is my pass transferable to another person?

You may substitute or transfer your registration to another person at any time by calling 866-455-8500 or emailing wcsinfo@yesevents.com.

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

I haven’t received an email from someone I have emailed. What should I do?

Please be sure to check your “junk” folder, as spam filters can sometimes catch emails. After verifying that you did not receive an email response to your inquiry, you may follow up via the same email, email centennial@ccu.edu, or call 303-963-3157.

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 who 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.
