The Presidential Inaugural Conference is a nonpartisan educational event held in Washington, D.C. every four years for Middle School, High School and College students in celebration and in recognition of the Inauguration of the President and Vice President of the United States.

In January 2013, three separate five-day conferences incorporated a variety of exclusive events and activities for attending Inaugural Scholars, including opening night receptions, special presentations from remarkable Keynote Speakers and explorations of the presidential campaigns, the electoral process and the presidency.

Special activities were planned around the public swearing-in ceremony of the President and Vice President as well as the inaugural parade. The three conferences culminated with exciting Gala Inaugural Celebrations exclusively for Inaugural Scholars to commemorate and celebrate their inaugural experience.

The next Presidential Inaugural Conference will be held in January 2017 to commemorate the 58th Presidential Inauguration. In the meantime, click here to learn more about our other leadership and career exploration programs available for elementary through college aged students.
