What is CPAC?
CPAC has been a cornerstone of the conservative movement since its inception in 1974. It brings together activists, politicians, media personalities, and grassroots leaders to discuss pressing issues, promote conservative principles, and strategize for the future. The conference is known for its high-profile speakers, engaging panels, and the iconic straw poll, which gauges support for potential Republican presidential candidates.
