Phoenix, AZ – The Turning Point USA AmericaFest, held December 19-22, 2024, at the Phoenix Convention Center, lived up to its reputation as the premier gathering of conservative leaders, thinkers, and activists. With a star-studded lineup that included former President Donald Trump, Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson, and Charlie Kirk, attendees were treated to an immersive four-day experience of inspiration, networking, and entertainment.
Trump’s Vision for America’s "Golden Age"
Donald Trump’s speech was the cornerstone of the event, with the former president declaring that America is entering a "Golden Age." Trump outlined his ambitious plans for his potential return to the White House, promising a “great American comeback” characterized by energy independence, regulatory reform, and a cultural reset.
Agenda Highlights:
Energy Independence: Trump vowed to cancel the natural gas export ban and reignite domestic drilling. “Drill, baby, drill!” he exclaimed, promising an abundance of oil and gas to fuel the economy.
Tax and Regulation Overhaul: Trump emphasized the economic benefits of cutting regulations over lowering corporate tax rates, citing feedback from business leaders. With provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire, he projected significant legislative moves to maintain and expand economic growth.
Cultural Policies: The loudest applause came when Trump promised to make it official U.S. policy that there are only two genders and to remove critical race theory and “transgender insanity” from schools. He advocated for replacing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives with merit-based systems.
Foreign Policy: Addressing global tensions, Trump pledged to prevent World War III and to end ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, reassuring attendees of his commitment to peace and diplomacy.

A Lineup of Conservative Heavyweights
Beyond Trump, the event featured speeches from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro and media personality Tucker Carlson, each echoing the promise of America’s revival. The speakers focused on themes of liberty, limited government, and the importance of cultural preservation.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, took center stage to encourage the next generation of conservatives. Attendees praised his role in leading the largest youth movement in America and his dedication to mentoring young leaders. Kirk’s message resonated deeply with families, including parents seeking role models for their children in an era of cultural challenges.

Beyond the Stage: Connections and Community
AmericaFest isn’t just about speeches. Thousands of attendees had the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals and over 100 partner organizations. Leadership training and activism workshops provided practical tools for attendees to take back to their communities, empowering them to be agents of change.

One attendee shared, “My favorite part of AmericaFest is meeting new people and lifelong friends who share the same mindset and values. I left greatly encouraged to continue seeking the peace and prosperity of the land in which God has blessed us to dwell.”

Entertainment and Celebration
True to its reputation, AmericaFest blended activism with entertainment. The Blexit Experience is always a great time to reconnect and have fun with extended mission family. And, concerts featuring top artists added an electrifying energy to the event, making it a celebration of American patriotism and culture.

Looking Ahead
As attendees departed, they carried with them a renewed sense of purpose and the tools to champion conservative principles in their communities. With its blend of education, inspiration, and entertainment, AmericaFest 2024 solidified its place as a transformative experience for the conservative movement.
In the words of one participant, “We enjoyed an unbelievable lineup of speakers, caught up with friends, and left encouraged to continue pursuing the vision of a stronger, freer America.”
