CPAC Beverly Hills Summit Takes on the Culture Wars

CPAC returned to Beverly Hills on October 9, 2026 with the CPAC Beverly Hills Summit, bringing together leading business figures and innovators to help shape the future of American enterprise, innovation, and global competitiveness.

What happens in California reaches far beyond the state. That is why CPAC came to Beverly Hills, bringing the conservative conversation to the center of the culture wars.

“It is vital for CPAC and similar organizations to come to California because the state shapes culture across the nation and around the world,” said Priya Patel, co-host of the Pretty Political Podcast.

Home to the film, music, and technology industries, California shapes much of the content and culture consumed worldwide. Influence California, and you influence the world—a reality the Left has used effectively to undermine Western civilization.

CPAC came to Beverly Hills to ensure the conservative voice is heard clearly around the world.

America is a beacon of freedom and a source of global leadership, and if America falls, freedom falls with it.

America’s future is on the ballot this November. CPAC is mobilizing grassroots supporters ahead of the midterms to ensure that America’s future is free.

The CPAC Beverly Hills Summit opened with Ambassador Richard Grenell and a compelling discussion of America’s mission and the challenges ahead. California Republican candidates Steve Hilton for governor and Michael Gates for attorney general underscored the need to energize grassroots voters ahead of the midterms as they discussed the challenges of being a Republican in California, and the rising cost of living, exorbitant government spending, woke social experiments, and corruption of the Democrats leading California. 

The CPAC Beverly Hills Summit made clear that the stakes have never been higher. 

To save America and defend freedom, every patriot must act: register to vote, volunteer, support conservative candidates, and cast a ballot in the midterms. Together, we can restore strong leadership, uphold our values, and secure America’s future for generations.
