Next week over 500 think tankers, activists, scholars, film makers, journalists, public-interest lawyers, and other assorted upstanding citizens will gather in Miami for the annual Resource Bank, the nation’s premier conservative public policy conference. There are also sunny beaches in Miami, we hear. Maybe you should be there, too.

The theme of this year’s conference is: “From Tea Parties to Taking Charge: Ideas and Strategies That Will Lead the Way.” Highlights from the agenda include sessions on reforming education without waiting for Washington, advancing reforms through investigative journalism, a Q-and-A session on where conservatives will lead, how to make effective YouTube videos, and returning sovereignty to the states. Also, open throughout the conference will be a TechLab that will let you learn about the latest social media applications.
