This event will take place in the light of the announcement that Fox News Channel hired Lara to host a new weekend show that will debut on February 22. This show, called “My View with Lara Trump,” will air at 9 p.m. on Saturday nights and will last an hour, according to Fox.

“A gifted communicator who knows how to connect to the viewers, successful entrepreneur and working mother, Lara’s innate understanding of the American public and today’s political landscape will be a compelling addition to our weekend lineup,” said FOX News Media Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Scott.

Lara is a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee and daughter-in-law of President Donald J. Trump. This event will be a great opportunity to hear her keynote remarks and engage with leaders who will shape the future of our country.

Darren Bailey, a former gubernatorial candidate, will be in attendance featuring his new book 'Rooted for a Reason.' Signed copies of his book will be available at the event. Other influential figures, whose contributions are driving change, will also be in attendance.
