CPAC 2022 Agenda, Speakers, Start Time, Live Stream, Speeches, and Straw Poll

The annual Conservative Political Action Conference, more commonly known as CPAC, kicks off this week from Orlando, Florida. The speaker list, as usual, contains all the high-profile voices of the conservative movement and concludes this weekend with a speech from former President Donald Trump on Saturday as well as Donald Trump, Jr. on Sunday.

The venerable CPAC presidential straw poll takes place on Sunday afternoon around 1:00 pm ET which should create some headlines. Will it be former President Trump or someone new like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis making headlines as the straw poll winner?

Here is the complete rundown of the speaker list for Thursday through Sunday as well as the embedded live stream for each day courtesy of RSBN.

How to Watch: Live streams are embedded below. CPAC 2022 will also be streamed live on several platforms including Fox Nation, RSBN, and others.

Former President Trump won the CPAC 2021 straw poll quite easily and it’s expected he’ll win again this year as well. The margin of victory will be the interesting part to dissect if someone like DeSantis is starting to peel away support ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
