Young Democrats are essential to creating the bright future Arkansas deserves. At Fall Conference, we will be building the infrastructure necessary for young people to show up in 2024 and BEYOND.

All Democrats under the age of 36 are welcome to attend Fall Conference. We hope you will join Young Dems from across the state as we:

• Hear from amazing speakers like Senator Joyce Elliott, Dr. Chris Jones, Chair Grant Tennille, Kelly Krout, and more;
• Run for leadership in the Stonewall (LGBTQ+) Caucus, Women’s Caucus, Black Caucus, AAPI Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, Labor Caucus, and Faith Caucus;
• Learn about how to work on a campaign, organize in your community, grow your local chapter, run for office, and more; and
• Have a fun, long weekend with lodging covered by the state organization!

Some logistics:

• SCHEDULE: Conference schedule will run from Friday at 1:30 pm to Sunday around 1:30 pm. A detailed schedule to come at a later date.
• LODGING: Those who need accommodations will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Downtown Little Rock. YDAR covers hotel room costs on a first-come, first-served basis, so register now so we can reserve your room!
• FOOD: All meals will be provided with the exception of Saturday’s dinner. 
• SCHOOL NOTE: YDAR can provide a note to excuse you from class on Friday, October 27. Simply check “yes” when asked if you need a note when filling out this form.

This year’s Conference will be EXTRA amazing because YDAR is partnering with the College Democrats of America, who are holding their annual Convention in Little Rock the same weekend.

We can’t wait to see you in Little Rock to change the face of Arkansas politics. If you have questions, please contact the Conference Committee at conference@ydarkansas.org or email Kimberly Bolin, Convention Chair at Bolin.kimberly@gmail.com.
