The Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) 2024 embraced the theme “Where Globalism Goes to Die,” echoing a defiant stance against the encroachment of globalist agendas within America and around the world.
Held at the Gaylord Resort and Hotel in National Harbor, Maryland, the four-day conference signaled CPAC’s commitment to countering the pervasive influence of organizations like the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization.
Undergoing a subtle rebranding as “CPAC International,” the event saw the integration of international political figures, activists, and organizations into its platform. A highlight was the inaugural CPAC International Summit and Reception, attracting foreign heads of state, elected officials, and prominent voices from various countries.
The lineup featured notable speakers such as former British Prime Minister Liz Truss and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, reflecting the conference’s global reach.
Thursday’s sessions included a dynamic opening with Christian Country singer and political activist Natasha Owens delivering a stirring rendition of the National Anthem. CPAC leaders Matt Schlapp and Mercedes Schlapp rallied attendees, emphasizing the need for courage in the face of opposition from the left.

Representative Byron Donalds energized the audience with his impassioned address, particularly focusing on border security and critiquing President Joe Biden’s policies.
Friday’s agenda underscored international collaboration, with speakers like Nigel Farage and leaders from CPAC branches worldwide. The spotlight also shone on CPAC Brazil, with Argentinian President Javier Milei slated to deliver a keynote speech. The day culminated in speeches from former President Donald J. Trump and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
Throughout the conference, panels featuring prominent figures such as Ben Ferguson, Larry O’Connor, and Tulsi Gabbard tackled a range of topics from policy to media narratives. Exclusive screenings, including the film “Cabrini,” offered insights into historical figures championing humanitarian causes.
Saturday promised further insights with a lineup featuring journalist Lou Dobbs, Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake, and anti-human trafficking activist Tim Ballard, building anticipation for headliners Trump and Milei.
Amidst discussions about the growing prominence of other conservative events, CPAC’s pivot towards a global perspective solidified its position as a leading voice in advancing conservative principles and liberties on a worldwide scale.
