American Democracy Conference 2005
Setting the Table: The 2005 Off Year Elections and the 2006 Midterm Elections
About | Agenda | Sponsors | Registration
Elections are the seminal event in the life of our democracy. Not only do they set the direction of our republic, campaigns and elections help to shed light on America's state of political health. It is altogether fitting then, that an examination
of our democracy and its current state take place in conjunction with those elections. Each year, shortly after the November elections, the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, in partnership with the National Journal's Hotline, presents the Am
erican Democracy Conference. Growing from the first National Post Election Conference in 1998, these gatherings now not only examine the last election cycle, but also attempt to discuss the state of American democracy and its prospects for the future.
This year the Center for Politics brings the American Democracy Conference back to the nation's capital again. The conference, co-hosted with the National Journal's Hotline, will bring leading journalists, Beltway insiders, and academics toge
ther to examine: "Setting the Table: The 2005 Off Year Elections and the 2006 Midterm Elections." The event is free and open to the public with advance registration, and it will be held at the Hotel Washington on Dec. 1, 2005.
More information will soon be available about the schedule, topics, panelists and moderators, sponsors and other deatils. Check back regularly for updates.
