You’re definitely not going to want to miss out on a chance to see great speakers all in one place, but don’t just take my word on it! Nathan Amundson is the North Central Regional Director for SFL, and he’s spent the last few months working hard with this region to put together such a strong conference. Nathan knows his region is going to set the bar high for the RCs to follow!

“From FEE’s Jeffrey Tucker and Atlas’s Tom Palmer to Venezuelan SFLer Jorge Jraissati and Startup Society’s Joe McKinney, the North Central RC brings you a wide variety of perspectives on why we should oppose socialism and empower the individual to resist the state’s heavy hand. Engaging speakers in beautiful Minneapolis followed up by a social at a bar that serves burritos. What more could you ask for?!” – Nathan Amundson, North Central RD

Another incredible thing that happens year after year at SFL Conferences is that lives are changed. Trace Mitchell recently graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University and has since started law school in northern Virginia! Here he is speaking on how life-changing his first SFL Regional Conference was!

“My sophomore year of college was when I first got involved with SFL. I was told there was a Regional Conference coming up and decided to go. At the time I was still a fairly strong neo-conservative with very little interest in liberty. One of the speakers at the conference was Catherine Sevcenko, an attorney for FIRE. After her presentation I went up and we talked about the different legal opportunities within the liberty movement. That conversation sparked an interest which lead me to becoming a Campus Coordinator and eventually deciding to attend the George Mason School of Law with the intent of working within the liberty movement. On my first day of class we had a guest speaker, it was Ms. Sevcenko. My first SFL regional conference changed my life and I can honestly say I would not be where I am today had it not been for that event.”  -Trace Mitchell, Campus Coordinator at Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University

You definitely do not want to miss this fantastic line up of speakers and the chance to network with like minded-liberty activists!
