ABOUT
The 2026 Texas Youth Summit will be hosted at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. Many of the nation’s top conservative speakers are slated to speak at the Summit, aiming to identify, educate, and train students to promote principles of fiscal responsibility, American exceptionalism, free markets, limited government, and the Judeo-Christian principles upon which this country was founded.
While anyone of any age can attend the Texas Youth Summit, admission is just $1 for ages 10–26. We are expecting another overflow crowd this year, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early to allow time for security screening.
