Invitation: International Think Tank Boot Camp, December 9, 2026, Washington DC

The conservative movement is in the midst of a global resurgence on the heels of key elections in the United States, Argentina, Italy, and beyond.

However, many countries lack the conservative infrastructure needed to direct and sustain this growing momentum in recent and upcoming elections.

In response to multiple inquiries from activists and academics around the world seeking guidance on how to establish a landmark, impactful conservative think tank in their own countries, we have gathered world-class experts to share their time and expertise.

This workshop will not only provide expert knowledge and advice but will also be an invaluable opportunity to expand your network of conservative think tank professionals.
