It's where the trade
experts will be.
The Coalition for a Prosperous America is gearing up for its highly anticipated 2025 Annual Conference, scheduled to take place May 13 – 14 at the Willard InterContinental. Just steps away from the White House and surrounded by historical monuments and world-renowned museums, the Willard is highly-regarded as one of America’s most legendary and historic hotels, and recently celebrated 200 years of legacy in the nation’s capital in 2018.
CPA’s Annual Conference is the nation’s premier gathering of Trump administration officials, U.S. Senators and Representatives, congressional staff, industry leaders, and subject matter experts. The conference will delve into crucial issues surrounding trade, tariffs, tax policy, and economic strategies that will shape America’s future.
As we approach this pivotal moment in U.S. history, the conference will focus on how the second Trump administration and a Republican-controlled Congress are set to implement an aggressive approach to tax, trade, and economic policy—surpassing anything previously seen in modern U.S. history. We are at a defining crossroads, where free trade orthodoxy has collapsed, and a new, growing bipartisan consensus on trade, tax, and economic policy is taking shape. The globalist, establishment policies that prioritized multinational corporations over American producers and workers are being overthrown, with CPA at the forefront of this transformative movement.
Today, Washington is increasingly aligned with CPA’s vision for a stronger America. But our work is far from finished. The 2025 Annual Conference will provide a dynamic platform to engage with the most pressing challenges facing American industries and explore the solutions that will secure long-term prosperity for U.S. producers and workers in the decades ahead.
