The Conservative Political Action Conference announced that Rev. Franklin Graham is a confirmed speaker for CPAC USA 2026, taking place March 25-28 at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas.
CPAC USA 2026 is hosted by the American Conservative Union, which has organized the conference annually since 1974, making it one of the largest and longest-running gatherings of conservative activists, elected officials, and policy leaders in the United States. This year’s lineup features senior Trump administration officials, members of Congress, and international leaders, among others, according to CPAC’s website.
The conference features speeches, panel discussions, and the CPAC straw poll, which has served as an informal barometer of conservative grassroots sentiment since 1976. CPAC’s annual congressional ratings scorecard measures elected officials’ adherence to constitutional conservative principles and has become an influential benchmark in Republican primary elections.
Rev. Franklin Graham is the CEO and President of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. The son of the late evangelist Billy Graham, he has led Samaritan’s Purse since 1979, directing international humanitarian relief efforts in more than 100 countries. He resides in Boone, North Carolina.
