By the way – the application for the Kay Hagan Memorial Scholarship closes on January 15th!

You can visit our convention website at convention.ydnc.org to get tickets, book hotel rooms, check out the convention schedule, and more. We’ve negotiated one of the most affordable room rates we’ve ever had at just $99 per night, and we’ve made convention tickets free for all members. This convention will be bigger, busier, and better—all while exceeding the standard for venue, price, and location accessibility.

We’re honored to host some of the biggest names in youth organizing from across the country, as well as YDNC alumni, candidates, and elected officials. We’ll be sharing more information about our speakers and programming over the coming weeks.

We’re following a successful showing in the 2023 municipal elections that saw 29 new Young Democrats elected in 22 counties across the state, and YDNC is gaining momentum heading into 2024—particularly in Black, brown, and historically marginalized communities. It’s been 7 years since YDNC has held convention in the Triangle and we’re thrilled to be back.

We’ve got so much more we’re excited to share—be sure to stay tuned on our social media for more convention updates!
