2026
ANNUAL
CONFERENCE
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) invites you to Washington, D.C. for its Annual Conference, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, and economic experts at a pivotal moment for U.S. trade and industrial policy.
BACK TO THE FUTURE OF ECONOMIC PROSPERITY
This year’s theme — “America 250: Back to the Future of Economic Prosperity” — reflects a clear reality: the principles that built this country’s economic strength—tariffs, domestic production, and national industrial policy—are once again central to the future of U.S. prosperity.
At a time of intensifying global competition, supply chain vulnerability, and growing bipartisan focus on economic security, this conference will examine how to restore durable industrial capacity and position the United States for the next century.

WHY ATTEND
CPA’s Annual Conference is a working forum where policymakers and industry leaders engage directly on the policies shaping U.S. production, investment, and economic security.
The goal is not theoretical debate — it is alignment around real policy outcomes.
As America enters its next century, the question is no longer whether industrial policy matters — but how to execute it effectively.
