Please find below the final agenda for the RedState Gathering. Please note that Governor Perry’s address has been moved back to 1:00 p.m. from 1:30 p.m.
We will have 397 registered attendees from just about every state in the union and a total of approximately 550 attendees present for Governor Rick Perry’s speech.
To conclude the RedState Gathering, we will have a special presentation of Stephen K. Bannon’s The Undefeated.
For those of you unfamiliar with the format of the RedState Gathering, all speakers pay their own way and make their own travel arrangements. In other words, if they are speaking, it is because they want to be there. We do not pay honoraria to speakers. This keeps the cost low to attendees and guarantees that those participating want to be there.
With the exception of each year’s keynote speaker, those who address the event are expected to also take questions from the registered attendees. Panel participants will likewise take questions.
This is our third RedState Gathering and it will be the largest crowd so far. At the end of the event, we will announce where next year’s Gathering will take place.

Dear RedStater,
The Third Annual RedState Gathering is coming up very soon — and we’d like to invite you to attend.
With the race for the GOP presidential nomination shifting into high gear, this much-anticipated annual gathering promises to be the best one yet. For the full agenda, click here.
It will be held on August 12-14 at the Francis Marion Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina — and will feature as its keynote speaker South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Governor Haley, as I’m sure you know, is one of the most principled, outspoken, articulate and magnetic conservative leaders of our time — a future vice-presidential and even presidential contender to be sure. An uncompromising foe of big government and federal intrusion on states’ rights and individual liberties, she recently took on President Obama over the attempts by one of his appointed thugs, National Labor Relations Board Chief Craig Becker, to prevent Boeing from opening a non-union factory there.
But Governor Haley is not the only conservative “star” you’ll have a chance to hear (and maybe chat with!) in person at this year’s RedState Gathering.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, one of the outstanding conservative leaders in America, will be joining us as well! With a recent Newsmax/Zogby poll showing Gov. Perry leading the field of potential and confirmed Republican presidential candidates, his appearance at RedState is sure to create political fireworks.
Other confirmed speakers include:
| Adam Hasner, former member of the Florida House of Representatives (2002-2010) and current candidate for U.S. Senator from Florida. Best known for serving as Marco Rubio’s hand-picked Majority Leader, Adam is a life long Republican who believes in limited government, free markets, and a strong national defense. At just 41-years of age, Human Events, National Review, Newsmax, The St. Petersburg Times and the Washington Post have all called Hasner Florida’s next conservative rising star. | |
| Ted Cruz, candidate for the 2012 Republican Party nomination for the United States Senate. What makes Ted a truly remarkable speaker and candidate are, first, his deeply held belief in America and our need to stand up to defend her against the Obama agenda and the Washington establishment; and second, his extraordinary substantive record exhibited throughout his life, highlighted by his repeated fight for the Constitution and conservative principles as Solicitor General of Texas. | |
| Michael Williams, another candidate for U.S. Senator from Texas, considered the “anti-Obama” for his refusal to toe the liberal line expected of most African-American politicians. “We need conservatives willing to engage the Democrats on the field of ideas… willing to speak of a 21st Century conservatism… willing to stand and fight on principle. We need leaders like Michael Williams.” |
Speaking invitations have also been extended to conservative headliners including Jim DeMint,Mike Pence, Tim Pawlenty, and Herman Cain.
With an “all-star” conservative lineup like this, the 3rd Annual RedState Gathering will be the must-attend event of the year — and I promise you’ll have a ball.
