Hundreds of young, trendy and passionate conservative leaders, influencers and activists gathered in Washington, DC on Monday for the Young America’s Foundation’s (YAF) 46th National Conservative Student Conference for a week of education and entertainment.
The conference’s speakers, which include many of the conservative movement’s top figures, are equipping students with the knowledge and tools to fight for conservative beliefs when they return to school this fall and beyond.
Breitbart News Entertainment Editor Jerome Hudson, Political Editor Emma Jo Morris and Capitol Hill Correspondent Bradley Jay will be leading breakout sessions throughout the conference, providing news and first-hand accounts from the epicenter of the culture war, motivating and encouraging students to return to campus and fight like “happy warriors.”

Students recalled last year’s sessions led by Morris and Hudson.
“you of “Who is Emma Jo Morris?” a student asked Tuesday.
Morris remembered the student from last year’s student assembly.
The student told Morris that a Breitbart breakout session at last year’s conference — a spirited discussion about how the political left is weaponizing culture to transform America — was what got him hooked on journalism.
The conference kicked off Monday night with a speech from YAF Chairman and former Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.), who outlined how YAF can arm students to stand up to oppressive indoctrination from the left.

Walker spoke with Breitbart on Tuesday to discuss the challenges facing conservative students at colleges across the country and the work YAF is doing to help them fight back.
Other speakers this week include Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), Rep. Dennis Prager, Rep. Chloe Cole and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow.
