The National Conservatism Conference (NatCon) 2025, held in Washington, D.C., achieved record-breaking registrations, nearly doubling attendance compared too four years ago. This was the first NatCon following former President Donald Trump’s second election victory, which contributed to an energized and victorious atmosphere attracting 1,253 participants-a nearly 80% increase from the 688 registrations in 2021’s NatCon 2 in Orlando. The conference’s growth highlights the rising influence of national conservatism within the U.S.right-wing political landscape, seen as a successor ideology to the customary Republican establishment.
Organizer Yoram Hazony emphasized the notable presence of national conservative figures within the Trump administration, praising Trump’s policies on immigration, crime, economic reindustrialization, and foreign affairs during his second term. NatCon 2025 featured major political figures, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Senators Josh Hawley and Eric Schmitt, and Representative Riley moore.
Comparing this year’s event favorably to previous conferences in Europe, British attendee Fleur Power noted significant improvements in association and atmosphere, attributing the success to the location in Washington, D.C., with its resources and a hopeful political climate. NatCon 2025 marked a milestone in consolidating and expanding the national conservatism movement.
NatCon 2025 boasts record-breaking registrations in first conference following Trump’s second victory
The National Conservatism Conference, or NatCon, boasted its highest registration since its creation, nearly doubling its attendance from just four years ago.
The fifth NatCon was held in Washington, D.C., the first following President Donald Trump‘s return to the White House. The victorious atmosphere helped draw in a record crowd. Organizers of the conference told the Washington Examiner that 1,253 people registered, a nearly 80% increase from NatCon 2 in Orlando (2021), which had 688 registrations.
Organizers provided figures showing steady growth of the conference, with 921 registrations for Miami’s NatCon 3 and 1,058 registrations for Washington, D.C.’s NatCon 4.
The conference’s growth reflects the growing prominence of national conservatism on the Right, which is widely viewed as one of the primary successor ideologies to the Republican old guard.
NatCon organizer Yoram Hazony noted his ideological compatriots’ outsize role in the Trump administration in his opening remarks on the first day of NatCon on Tuesday.
“Our friends are in power,” Hazony told the audience. “Hundreds of people like you are in the administration.”
Hazony and most other speakers praised Trump, embracing his approach during his second term.
“I think the Trump administration is the best I’ve ever seen,” Hazony said, drawing applause.
He praised Trump’s handling of immigration, crime, reindustrialization, foreign policy shifts toward empowering regional actors, and more. He held that the second Trump administration represented a seizure of power of NatCon’s allies.
Reflecting the increased prominence of the conference, several major lawmakers and officials delivered speeches, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), and Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV).
Speaking with the Washington Examiner on Tuesday, British attendee and Bombshells podcast host Fleur Power said the difference between this year’s conference and previous ventures was night and day. She had gone to two previous NatCons in Europe, in London in 2023 and Brussels in 2024. She called last year’s Brussels conference “infamous,” witnessing a host of problems.
The venue was moved three times, was briefly shut down altogether by Brussels Mayor Emir Kir, police locked guests in a venue, some guests had to be “smuggled in,” caterers weren’t let in, and more.
NATIONAL CONSERVATIVES GATHER IN WASHINGTON TO CONSOLIDATE MOVEMENT
This year’s NatCon saw none of those problems and a much larger crowd.
“Well, it’s in Washington, D.C. You have so much money here, and you have nice hotels and nice surroundings, and it’s a really hopeful time for you guys here, and the energy is different. It’s like you are in your summer,” Power said.
