Right's conference planners should take a cue from Left, meet in red cities

After studying some of 2013’s largest American political conferences across the ideological spectrum, Americans for Prosperity recently asked me to share my observations at its Right Online gathering on the tactics of their counterparts on the Left.

Of course, the first things that came to my mind were the abundance of panels at conservative conferences that start way too early in the morning, speakers that make attendees wish they’d pushed the snooze button a few more times, and the lack of free coffee that might have otherwise helped attendees rally.
