You may have seen the Reason-Rupe poll showing how millennials think and which issues they care about. Now learn how to win the hearts and minds of a generation for freedom.

Polls and studies can tell us much about how the 80 million millennials think about topics like politics, culture, economics, and more. From binge watching House of Cards on Netflix, then taking an Uber to a craft beer tasting, how can the principles of free markets, individual freedom, and the rule of law be advocated in a world full of distractions? Find out how the movement can best engage millennials as our speakers discuss the issues that resonate, the language used to better connect, and the modern tactics needed to recruit and mobilize this generation. Come to learn what has worked, and what needs work for this demographic.
