The countdown to the SOLD-OUT 2026 National Pro-Life Summit is really in full swing now!

 I'm sure you have most of your travel and other attendance details squared away. But, as promised, I'm going to drop pertinent event info below just so you have it handy.

The National Pro-Life Summit

📅 Saturday, January 24, 2026

⏰ 8:50 AM – 7:00 PM ET

📍 Grand Hyatt Washington, D.C. (1000 H Street N.W.)

Day-of registration will open at 7:30 AM and a FREE, continental breakfast will be served at 8:00 AM.

⭐ Streamline Your Day:
Pre‑Register Friday Night

Between 4:00 and 8:00 PM on Friday (Jan. 23), you can come to the Grand Foyer of the Grand Hyatt— don’t worry, we’ll have signs — to pre-register and get your Summit badge so you can skip the long morning line!

If you're attending either of the pre-Summit events (see below), preregistration makes your evening and morning MUCH easier. 💯

Want another pro tip?

You can start looking at our workshop tracks RIGHT NOW and consider what you want your day at the Summit to look like. If you are coming with a group, we highly recommend that you split up during the workshops, so your group can learn from each of them!
