What to Know About CPAC's Big Conservative Conference Coming to London in 2026

The American Conservative Union (ACU) has opened registration for CPAC Great Britain 2026, a three-day conservative conference set for July 16–18, 2026, at the InterContinental London – The O2 hotel on the Greenwich Peninsula. The venue address is 1 Waterview Drive, London, SE10 0TW, UK, according to a May 13, 2026 press release on the CPAC Great Britain website (gb.cpac.org).
CPAC stands for the Conservative Political Action Conference. It is a major annual gathering originally based in the United States where conservative politicians, media figures, and activists give speeches, hold panel discussions, and network. The ACU, the organization behind CPAC, has been expanding the brand internationally with regional editions in other countries.
CPAC Great Britain has its own website at gb.cpac.org, separate from the parent ACU site at conservative.org, where the main conference listing and registration entry point are hosted (conservative.org/2026). Registration is processed through CPAC's secure portal at secure.cpac.org. The registration page's web address includes a tag referencing media figure Dan Wootton (secure.cpac.org). A separate referral path through cpac.org/warroom also leads to the same registration portal (cpac.org).
The InterContinental London – The O2 is a large hotel and conference complex on the southeastern stretch of the River Thames. It sits on the Greenwich Peninsula, an area of London that has been redeveloped in recent years and regularly hosts big political and commercial events. The three-day schedule from July 16 through July 18 follows CPAC's typical format of large main-stage speeches, smaller themed panel discussions, and networking events. The ACU has not yet published a detailed schedule on its public-facing pages.
The May 13 press release confirming the venue is dated less than two months before the conference begins. That release appears on a web page whose address includes the words "bitcoin-collective," which suggests at least one part of the programming or promotion involves cryptocurrency advocacy. The specific content of the press release is not reproduced in the available source materials, but its presence on the CPAC Great Britain website confirms that the venue and logistical details were finalized by mid-May 2026.
The broader context here is CPAC's ongoing push to set up versions of its conference outside the United States. Having a dedicated website at gb.cpac.org suggests the organizers want a permanent, locally branded online presence for the UK rather than a one-time event page. The registration web address includes a tag tied to media figure Dan Wootton, which indicates targeted promotional partnerships with media personalities to help attract attendees.
For anyone following the connections between American and British conservative movements, the Greenwich Peninsula gathering will be the focal point for CPAC's UK operations in 2026. Registration is live, the venue is confirmed, and the dates are set. What remains unpublished is the speaker lineup, the panel schedule, and the full list of organizational partners. Those details typically come out in the weeks right before the event.
