We are thrilled to announce Chris Cillizza as the keynote speaker for our upcoming Capitol Conference, from February 23-26! As one of Washington’s most dynamic political analysts, Chris brings a blend of sharp humor and deep insight to his discussions of national and local campaign politics.

In the wake of the U.S. presidential election, Chris's perspective is more relevant than ever. His extensive experience as a former CNN Politics reporter and editor-at-large, combined with his role as the creator of The Point with Chris Cillizza, equips him to uniquely dissect the complexities of the political landscape.

Chris currently engages a wide audience through his So What newsletter and his YouTube channel. Here, he delves beyond the headlines, offering not just the 'what' but the 'so what' and 'now what' of political news, resonating with both political aficionados and the general public.

Please join us as Chris shares his expertise on the current state of Capitol Hill, examines the unfolding implications of the presidential election, and forecasts the evolving dynamics of Washington politics. This is a session you won't want to miss, filled with valuable insights whether you are deeply entrenched in politics or simply keen to understand the broader implications of current events on our industry.
