Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are set to host a counter-conference to CPAC this week.

Indeed, Trump and a host of conservative speakers will gather this month for the annual CPAC event, while Cheney and Kinzinger will host a two-day conference in Washington D.C. called “Principles First: The Summit.”

The event, set to take place February 26th to 27th at the National Press Club, will coincide with CPAC in Orlando, Florida, *BizPacReview* [reports](https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/02/22/cheney-kinzinger-to-headline-anti-trump-counterprogramming-conference-during-cpac-1204156/).

Trump, Ron DeSantis, Tulsi Gabbard and other influential conservatives will be at CPAC.

“We want to come together in a visual show of support for people who have taken stands for ideas when it hasn’t been comfortable,” Heath Mayo, a GOP attorney and founder of Principles First for America, said. “You don’t see those folks, yet, in rooms that are energized. But I think the energy is there. We’ll see how many folks show up.”

“I believe there is a lane here for 2024. The party is completely stuck in a rut talking about if the last election is legitimate and if Liz Cheney, \[Maryland Governor Larry\] Hogan, or someone else is compelling and wants to run, I think a lot of people would listen,” he continued.

Cheney will speak to the summit remotely on February 26th and Kinzinger will deliver a closing keynote speech on February 27th, per the schedule.

Other speakers include Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Georgia lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan, to name a few.
