Voices of Liberty!
The 2025 LPIN State Convention will be held March 28th – 30th in Plainfield, IN at the CRG Event Center. The Libertarian Party of Indiana will be celebrating our 2024 candidates and volunteers. The focus of this year’s convention will be advocacy – being loud and effective voices for liberty! We all know that to be a voice that is heard and understood – we must LISTEN to those we want to advocate with & LEARN how to best connect with people to be effective advocates.
On that note we are making some small changes to our program scheduling this year. This year – Saturday Training and Complete Package purchasers will be asked to choose whether they want to LISTEN or LEARN at check-in. The speakers/trainers for both tracks are listed below within the Convention Program and schedule.
** ALL delegates must register for the Business Meeting by March 14th, 2025. Counties must submit their delegation list to the LPIN Secretary by March 14th, 2025.**
