Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti were among the guests who spoke at the event on Thursday before the event featured a “Night at the Honky Tonk” performance by country music star Craig Campbell.
On Friday, the event will feature a women’s networking event, cornhole tournament benefiting veteran causes, and a pool party at 10:00 p.m. following a morning of panel discussions, trainings, and guest speakers.
The event’s National Awards Dinner is scheduled for Saturday at 7:00 p.m., which will feature guest speakers Jennings and Travis.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Scott Jennings and Clay Travis to the stage to help us honor the people, chapters, and federations that are leading our movement,” YRNF said.
A prayer breakfast on Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. will close out the event.
This year’s YRNF National Convention marks the largest event in the group’s history with over 1,000 attendees.
As the oldest political youth organization in the U.S., the YRNF’s mission is to “recruit new Young Republicans and engage young voters with the Republican Party, train the future leaders of the United States, and elect Republican candidates from the top to the bottom of the ballot across the country.”
