10th Annual American Democracy Conference
University of Virginia Alumni Hall
211 Emmet Street, South Charlottesville, VA
Elections are the seminal event in the life of our democracy. Not only do they set the direction of our republic, but campaigns and elections also shed light on the state of America's political health. Each year, the Center for Politics presents the American Democracy Conference. Growing from the first National Post Election Conference in 1998, these gatherings examine not only the most recent election cycle and/or primaries in hindsight, but also current campaigns, upcoming elections and prospects for the future of American democracy. This conference will bring together today's leading journalists, Beltway insiders, political analysts and academics to examine the presidential and congressional races. Guests scheduled to appear include Alan Abramowitz, Wyatt Andrews, Christina Bellantoni, Carl Cannon, Kellyanne Conway, Rhodes Cook, Craig Crawford, Katon Dawson, Dahlia Lithwick, Rich Lowry, Jonathan Martin, Kiki McLean, Susan Page, Michael Toner, Joe Trippi and Lowell Weicker Jr. More speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. The American Democracy Conference free and open to the public, although advance registration is required.
For questions or more information, please contact Bruce Vlk, Deputy Director of Programs, at brucev@virginia.edu or (434) 243-3540.
