An all-star cast of conservative leaders and experts came together at The Heritage Foundation’s 2019 President’s Club Meeting on Oct. 21-23 for three days of policy discussions and inspiration at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, D.C.
The event—Heritage’s largest annual member event—gave conservatives renewed hope and a path to American unity with the formal introduction of Heritage’s True North principles of conservatism.
Speakers rallied attendees to fight against the rising tide of socialism, celebrate America’s founding principles, and spread American values to new audiences.
The President’s Club Meeting brought together more than 700 of Heritage’s most dedicated members from across the nation.
Below are the videos from the 2019 President’s Club Meeting sessions. (Videos from the Heritage Honors gala are available here)
