The event kicked off Wednesday afternoon with a small group of speakers, but the headliners began today with White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway. You can watch a complete live stream of day one above, and videos of individual speeches below.
Thursday is also highlighted by appearances from Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Vice President Mike Pence. Pence is scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m. ET. White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and strategist Steve Bannon will appear together at 1:05 p.m. ET. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is scheduled to speak at 12:50 p.m. ET.
CPAC was initially going to feature controversial writer Milo Yiannopoulos, but his invitation was rescinded after video of him talking about pedophilia surfaced. Yiannopoulos also lost his position at Brietbart and had his Simon & Schuster book deal cancelled.
