Women Warriors Summit · May 21, 2026
From grassroots organizers to cultural influencers, community advocates, and policy leaders, this powerful CPAC coalition of strong voices will unite, strengthen and advance our shared mission. By bringing together leaders from faith, policy, culture, and community, CPAC turns ideas into actions while giving a voice to those who are in the frontlines of this battle to save America.
On May 20–21 in Washington DC, CPAC will host the inaugural Women Warriors Summit, a first-of-its-kind gathering dedicated to equipping and elevating women who are shaping the future of our country through leadership, advocacy, and action.
A Movement, Not Just a Meeting
The Women Warriors Summit is more than a conference—it is a call to action.
The CPAC Women’s Warrior Summit is designed to strengthen principle-rooted leadership, foster meaningful partnerships across the country, address our nation’s most important challenges, and equip women to lead with clarity, courage, and conviction.
"I am honored to have served in the Trump Administration and now honored to host this inaugural summit on May 21 in the U.S. Capitol because we need strong conservative women to shape the next elections and define America’s future."
— Mercedes Schlapp
