Friends,

We’re excited to share that nearly 50 speakers and participants are already confirmed for the Summit, with more announcements coming soon.

Over the past year, many of you told us you wanted to dive deeper — less surface-level conversation, more serious discussion around policy, institutions, and solutions. You asked, and we listened.

This year’s Summit ([link removed]) will feature expanded programming focused on the real policy debates shaping the future of our country — from the economy and national security to religious liberty, free speech, and the rule of law. Plus, a *brand new* workshop for attendees on running for office. 👀

So join us, February 20–22 at the Gaylord National Harbor as attendees from across the country come together for a weekend of thoughtful dialogue, meaningful connections, and forward-looking conversations.

P.S. We’ll also be dropping the full Summit agenda in just a few days — and trust us, you’re going to want to see what’s in store. Let’s just say…we’ve been busy.

Thank you to all of our Sponsors and Exhibitors! We are proud to say we have more partners than ever before, so much so that we had to make a bigger graphic!

If you are interested in being involved in the Summit, you still have time. For those interested in exhibiting, please fill out this form ([link removed]) . If you are interested in sponsoring the Summit, please contact Brittany (mailto:[email protected]?subject=I'm%20interested%20in%20sponsoring%20the%202026%20Summit) for more information.
We want to hear from you!

We're looking for motivated volunteers to join us for brief, ten-minute one-on-one Zoom interviews in order to learn more about you. We want to hear from you on:
* Your "Why": What draws you to the Principles First mission and its core values?
* The Summit: What sessions, speakers, or topics are you most excited about?
* The Takeaway: What do you hope to gain or bring back to your community after the event?

While the main focus of these interviews is to get to know you better, with your permission we may also use select on-camera clips from these interviews with our media team to highlight the important perspectives within our movement. If you're interested in sharing your story, please email [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) by Monday, February 9th.
