Pro-Life Advocates Conference

Pro-Life Advocates Conference

Leadership Institute has joined with March for Life to present something completely different. On Thursday, January 22nd, the anniversary of the Roe versus Wade decision, and the day before the March, Leadership Institute is presenting the first-ever Pro-Life Advocates Conference.

The reason this conference is different is that it features more than 30 pro-life leaders. Each talk will be a 10-minute-long LIFE Talk (TED-style talks on Leadership, Information, Freedom, and Empowerment for pro-life advocates).

The conference begins with abortion basics and how abortion hurts women, men, and families. The topics transition into lessons on how to better communicate our pro-life values. Next, we will hear from speakers with a variety of activism projects. The legal eagles and election experts will close the LIFE Talks, but the National Pro-Life Advocates’ Conference continues for another hour.

In the tradition of The Law of Life Summit, which still exists, but is changing for 2026, the last session will feature the Pro-Life Firehose! All organizations and ministries in the room are invited to come to the podium to give a one- to two-minute elevator pitch on the work they do. (The speaking time depends on the number of people requesting a time slot.)

Join us in person, or online, to be inspired to do more and do better at your pro-life activism.
