The Liberty Summit Exhibit Hall presents the best conservative organizations throughout the state and nationally. But we don’t just have conservative organizations represented, we have everything from local media outlets such as KMJ NOW to national companies such as Barnes & Noble. Thanks to our new location at the Fresno Convention Center we’ve been able to triple the amount of exhibitors we’re hosting at our event. We have everything you need to get connected to the conservative movement in one convenient spot. It is the primary location for coffee breaks, live entertainment, book signings, and SO much more!


New Expanded Venue

Convention Center Exhibit HallLast year’s conference we sold out the Wilson Theater in under three months, so this year we’ve moved to the Fresno Convention Center! Innovative design and state-of-the-art technology create a productive atmosphere and set the tone for our new expanded venue. With three exhibit halls that we’re using, the venue offers us more than 66,000 square feet of flexible space for our event. The second floor meeting rooms offers us the ability to run concurrent breakout sessions for you to choose from. The Fresno Convention Center offers space, flexibility and service that is perfect for our growing event!

This year’s program unites the best conservative minds with the most active participants of the conservative movement. With dozens of sessions to choose from, you’ll get the opportunity to shape the conference that fits your area of interest. From our engaging speakers to our exclusive panels, we’ve established an exciting full program that you won’t want to miss!

Live Entertainment & Mixers

23714203474_8a4341b35f_zWe understand that a schedule with nothing but speakers can be a little daunting. This is why we’ve done our best to include some of the best performers in the conservative movement within our schedule. From comedians to live bands, we’ve historically had outstanding and well-received live entertainment at our event and this year will be no different. Best of all, the opportunity to see these acts are included in your registration at no additional cost.

We’re opening up our venue for outside parties to come in and sponsor this new and exciting portion of our event. We’ve traditionally held VIP mixers and opportunities to meet your favorite speakers, but this year we’re inviting all our speakers to join you for the end of the night mixers if they want to. Don’t miss your chance to socialize with your fellow attendees and meet your favorite conservative leader at one of our various mixers!

Many of our speakers have agreed to sign books for YOU, so stay tuned to see when in our schedule you can take advantage of this exclusive opportunity.

Additionally, many of our speakers like to explore our conference just like you.
