About

The Conservative Leadership Conference (CLC) is the largest gathering of conservatives in North Carolina, hosted by the Civitas Institute. CLC is a biennial conference where conservative minds and thinkers can network and learn about the issues facing our state. The program includes a keynote dinner, breakout sessions, and opportunities to engage with elected officials, policymakers, and fellow attendees. CLC is a great way to stay informed, build excitement about reforms in North Carolina, and collaborate with fellow conservatives on how to remove barriers to freedom in our state.
