CPAC (from Wiki)
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC; /ˈsiːpæk/ see-pak) is an annual political conference attended by conservative activists and elected officials from across the United States.
CPAC is hosted by the American Conservative Union Foundation (ACUF), a 501(c)3 charity. More than 100 other organizations contribute in various ways. Human Events, the Young America's Foundation, and the National Rifle Association have been three of the most prominent cosponsors in recent years. CPAC has a full time staff of two people, conference director Christopher Malagisi and Deputy CPAC Director Jillian Weleski.[1][2]
The conference was founded in 1973 by the American Conservative Union and Young Americans for Freedom as a small gathering of dedicated conservatives.[3][4] Over the years it has grown to thousands of attendees annually. Roughly half of those in attendance in the past few years have been college-aged
