The National Conservatism Conference, or NatCon, boasted its highest registration since its creation, nearly doubling its attendance from just four years ago.

The fifth NatCon was held in Washington, D.C., the first following President Donald Trump‘s return to the White House. The victorious atmosphere helped draw in a record crowd. Organizers of the conference told the Washington Examiner that 1,253 people registered, a nearly 80% increase from NatCon 2 in Orlando (2021), which had 688 registrations.
